Stockfish 3 Official JA Windows/Linux builds available

[gladius]

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

--Jon

The closest thing is https://github.com/glinscott/fishtest right now. On the server end, it's running a webserver in python, which connects to a mongodb instance for tracking state. Client side, it's a small python program which gets tasks in batches of 1000 games, and runs them with cutechess.

Stockfish 3 JA by The Stockfish Team

This is Stockfish 3

The big news of this version, and the reason why we have bumped version number to 3 is not due to ELO increase (that anyhow should be interesting) nor to some cool feature, but it is due to the new super awesome testing framework that Gary setup and currently runs on

http://54.235.120.254/tests

This is really a new beginning for Stockfish development. A development that now is fully open and in just few weeks has already attract many people willing to test their ideas and some of their contributions have been already committed upstream: Lucas Braesch, Ryan Schmitt, Jean-Francois Romang, James Undery, Hiraoka Takuya, jhellis, Joona Kiisky (a great return!) and of course Gary Linscott.

As a technical note for people willing to compile themselves, this time you will find also the C++11 porting along the usual C++ sources. This is 100% fully functional equivalent of the std version, but on some platforms and with some compilers (like gcc 4.8) the C++11 binary may be even faster, but it's up to you to try and to verify on your preferred platform

A special thank to Jim for his always precious support in compiling the release version and to Daylen, our stockfishchess.org webmaster that silently and without fanfare has built a really beautiful site and a fully operational support service.

Have fun

I haven't included an Android compile yet because I'm having trouble. I'm working on it at the moment.

Jim.

Thank you very much, my friend-

Jim, the default for threads is set on 4- what is the maximum number it can run?



Thanks,

I wouldn't run any matches just yet George, it looks like Jim is going to issue new compiles.

Stockfish plays with 16 cores in nTCEC so it supports at least that many.

[Marek Soszynski]

The official Linux 64 build reports elapsed times that are out by a factor of 1000.

The http://abrok.eu/stockfish/ compile is okay.

Best,

I have written a short technical introduction to fishtest in the programmers subforum.

I'm in the process of recompiling my builds on an Intel machine.
I'll post links back later today.

Jim.
