13” iPad Pro issues With SmallFish

[Milton]

I received my 13” iPad Pro yesterday 5/15/24 and at the present time it does not seem to work with SmallFish for StockFish. The issue is with the gui. The white pieces below the pawns are beneath the board among other gui misalignments. I guess Ted Wong will correct the problem in the near future. I sent him an email.
I would be interest to know if anyone else is experiencing problems.

I pray that he puts in an option to see the kn/s.
That will help us compare devices and see if all cores are being used.

I use Chess Studio which seems to use latest Stockfish with NNUE.
That said, since it uses the NNUE engine, its very slow on my ipad pro M1. its around 300-500 kn/s....

Speed with NNUE in KN/sec is going to be lower, naturally. Playing strength with NNUE is significantly improved of course, so it's a win overall.

It's still to strong.

But 300-500 kn/s looks clearly buggy.
I hope he is not using brew install stockfish --HEAD, because self compiled versions are around 2.3 times faster.
Does the Chess Studio person know how to compile Stockfish?

make -j profile-build COMP=clang ARCH=apple-silicon

strip stockfish

./stockfish compiler

See:

7.500.000 = 7500 kn/s with old Stockfish 14.1.

A new Stockfish has dotprod support, so you should get 15000 kn/s.
Let's say the net size has doubled = still 7500 kn/s.
Let's say the net size has doubled again = still 3750 kn/s.
300-500 kn/s are not possible.
I know a person which has 500 kn/s with newest Stockfish on a very very very old smartphone.

Well, it’s so much slower that I wonder if it’s really stronger or even as strong than the non NNUE that runs more than 20x faster on the same iPad….

Ted Wong posted a patch which fixes the gui issues I originally reported in this thread. Everything works fine now. Thanks Ted!
