Scorpio 2.7 Linux

[jdart]

Anyone have this engine successfully working on Linux? I tried both the Jim Ablett compile and a clean gcc 4.5.2 compile, and both crash after a few games. Target is x64, host system is Ubuntu.

This was the command line:

Code: Select all

./cutechess-cli -fcp cmd=/home/jdart/chess/engines/scorpio-27-ja/Linux/scorpio dir=/home/jdart/chess/engines/scorpio-27-ja/Linux proto=xboard -scp cmd="/home/jdart/chess/engines/arasan13.4/arasanx -H 256m -c 2" dir=/home/jdart/chess/engines/arasan13.4 proto=xboard -both tc=0:10+0.1 -games 400 -pgnin /home/jdart/chess/book/open4.pgn -repeat -resign 5 700

or the similar xboard command:

Code: Select all

./xboard -smpCores 2 -defaultHashSize 256 -mg 400 -tc 1:0 -inc 0 -mps -1 -ponder -zp -xexit -fcp "/home/jdart/chess/engines/arasan13.4/arasanx -H 256M -c 2" -fd /home/jdart/chess/engines/arasan13.4 -scp "/home/jdart/chess/engines/scorpio-27-ja/Linux/scorpio-27-64-ja" -sd /home/jdart/chess/engines/scorpio-27-ja/Linux -lgf /home/jdart/chess/book/open4.pgn -lgi -2

JA's build seems ok here. Scid vs PC tournament - 4 wins against Gnuchess, 4 losses to Shredder.

Under Linux (Ubuntu) I only use Scid and Shredder as GUI's for Linux chess engines. I have no experience at all with xboard (is too complicated for me).

... oops, such complex xboard commands ... I have no time to study such things for many hours just to get run a specific engine. I am wondering that xboard is not yet dead ?!
Kurt

[jdart]

The command's in a script file, so all I do to run it is type "test".

All the command is doing is specifying two engines, setting the hash and #cpus, and telling xboard to run a match between them with certain time controls and start positions. I run the command from a script, come back in a few hours, and run another script to get a summary of the results. Actually it's easier than starting up a a GUI, for this purpose. cutechess-cli doesn't even have a GUI.

I'm running a really long match (400 games). I've seen it do 8 games ok. But it doesn't complete a long run.
