DisasterArea Update

Post by Jochen Peussner »

Hello,
this is a pure technical update, therefore the version keeps the same.
Now DisasterArea can handle 4 threads, which is more common for testers and users.
Second DA went 64 bit, which gave a speed increase of 33 percent and
the usage of hash up to 16 GB.
The 32- and 64bit versions can be downloaded from:
http://desasterarea.jimdo.com

Search and eval are untouched except the smp-stuff, so for the
32bit version there is nothing to test.

Hi Werner,

thanks to the CEGT-Team for all that testing and also a Happy New Year!
Also thanks to Gerd Isenberg for the nice wiki-page and the ultimate
youtube-video about the "real" Disaster Area.
You have to watch it at https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/DisasterArea

Hi Jochen,

perfect for myself.
With delay from my site ... your engine started in around 2 days in FCT1.

Good luck and have thanks for your Christmas gift.

Best
Frank

Hi Frank,

thanks for including DA in your FCT1 (I hope, my engine can be competitive in this strong field) and good health in 2015 !
