Stockfish 4 PA_GTB

Post by Jeremy Bernstein » Sat Oct 12, 2013 1:14 pm

Stockfish 4 PA_GTB v001 is released!

No changes from the previous PA_GTB build based on Stockfish 3 beyond updating to the tip of the Stockfish upstream trunk.

This thing is really great for analysis.
I have a few million analyzed positions, and as the count grows, the analysis speed continues to accelerate.
I typically get to depth 30 (+/-2ply) in a minute.

Here is a sample analysis:
This is row 765 from one of my current analysis files:
r1bq1rk1/ppp2pp1/2np1n1p/4p3/1b2P3/2NP1NP1/PPP2PBP/R1BQ1RK1 w - -

Code: Select all

765

Without the permanent hash feature, analysis could not be accelerated in this way.
I thank you sincerely for this very interesting improvement.

Hi Jeremy Bernstein;

Thanks for the file..

Can u pls provide the polyglot adaptor with the settings(soft probe depth etc used in PA_GTB), without engine so that i will use polyglot.ini file to link to the latest built engines.
Because i see u used 10/10/2013 built engine but there are strong builts later but the settings u've used like soft probe depth, hard probe, persistent hash adds weightage to the engine.
So in short i expect polyglot adaptar without engine, so i use polyglot.ini to link engine file (Latest builts)..
I know u r not benifited for sending me this.. but i have no options..(I tried to compile day and night for 2 days but ended with errors)

Thanks hoping that u would send me, waiting for ur reply
You can PM me also..

Regards:
Thebossss

Locking

Post by petevine » Sun Nov 03, 2013 9:55 pm

Hi,
Is it currently possible for 2 (or more) instances of stockfish to access and write to the same PH file?
Thx

Not a good idea, but I haven't tested it.

There's one thing left that would make the app complete as an analysis tool - being able to manually insert position evals (from TB7 for example). This feature might ilustrate why a locking mechanism is probably required.
Anyways, thanks for a great piece of code!

You can do this via an EPD file. Check out the "importepd" command in the readme.

My bad :)
Is it safe then to use this option on the console while another instance is analysing?

Nope. Well, it's untested. There are no protections in my code to deal with simultaneous write access to the PH database. Whether the Komodo Cabinet backend is robust enough to handle it, no idea. But this wasn't an imagined use case for me. :-)
