Yes, 128-bit xmm registers with SSE may be treated as vector of four floats or two doubles, as well since SSE2 as integer vectors of 16 bytes, eight words, four double words or two quad words. AVX or AVX2 two times more. There are 8 of these SIMD-registers in 32-bit mode, and 16 in 64-bit mode. http...

Good luck with CCR, you may try using 256-bit ymm register of x86 AVX2 for one register boards, to make/unmake by board ^= tbl[enumMove] ;-) related cpw stuff: https://www.chessprogramming.org/Nibble#ArrayOfNibbles CCR with "vertical" nibbles: https://www.chessprogramming.org/Quad-Bitboards https://...

Conversion and revisiting, replacing links etc. takes some time - most of the programming stuff is done. I still have a job and a bike ...

Hi Edsel,

with magic or pext bitboards, most use "On the Fly" generation ...

I have noticed the announcement that Wikispaces, which is hosting the Chess Programming Wiki, is shutting down ( http://blog.wikispaces.com/ ). I hope there are plans to migrate the content elsewhere, because it has been a good resource and reference. --Jon We have wikitext backups, and some months...

The naive disjunctiv normal form approach would be, with some subexpressions to optimize oneEmptyNeighbor = ( occupied_shift_left & ~occupied_shift_down & ~occupied_shift_right & ~occupied_shift_up) | (~occupied_shift_left & occupied_shift_down & ~occupied_shift_right & ~occupied_shift_up) | (~occup...

The new wikimedia cpw makes good progress and will be available in about July with revisited and new content and links. No need to waste bandwidth or memory.

We have wikitext backups, and some months time to look for another host. How about digitalocean.com? They're $5/mo. and you get 25gb of ssd disk space, a full linux shell enviornment where you can install whatever you want. I would like to see the 'wikitext backup' for this page: https://chessprogr...
