Stockfish 3 Official JA Windows/Linux builds available

[Mike S.]

Thanks! It was just about time. May the Stockfish #3 swim fast and live long and prosper.

[Jim Ablett]

Finally great news! But note: JA compile 4% SLOWER than autocompile from http://abrok.eu/stockfish/ dated 30.4. in Pentium 4 prosessor (bench ran many times with same difference).

My compiles seem a bit crippled on Intels. May a bit better on Amds.

These are the numbers I get when I run both normal x64 builds on my old athlon >

I just discovered the win32 builds have a dependency >

I will recompile without the dependency but for now >

Just drop it in with the win32 executable.

Thanks Jim!

My question: Sholdn't the popcnt build run faster than the standard build?

Yes, that's definitely bad. I'm recompiling all the windows builds right now
and hopefully rectifying the mess-ups.

Here are some win32 compiles that don't have any dependencies.

For those waiting for a decent win64 sse42 compile Dann Corbit send me his here >

For me, a simple build with the supplied makefile followed by strip.exe to remove the symbols makes the fastest binary.



Building your own version seems to make a faster binary for some reason:

Thanks to all involved with the project.

+1 !

(Bench gives 600 Kn/sec in my old Athlon 2.2Ghz 64 bit)

Is there a short overview of the testing framework available somewhere?
