What is the fastest time control that developers use

[Uri Blass]

I see based on the results that 8 second per game +0.08 seconds per move is popular and the faster time control that I could find is 5+0.05.

I wonder why not testing at faster time control and what is the fastest time control that you practically can test(what about 0.1+0.001 time control).

The reason that I think testing at very fast time control may be interesting is that I have the idea of some chess engine A when the evaluation is based on the result of B play against itself at very fast time control when is better to have B as strong as possible so evaluation of one position(win draw loss is usually correct and does not take too much time).

These time controls are kinda meaningless by thesmselves. The 8+.08s you see on OpenBench is relative to {some computer}. In the case of Weiss that you probably looked at, its based on a thread of a Ryzen 3700x. If instead it was based on a core of a 7950x, it would look more like a 3+.03s test.
