Komodo 8 on 32 threads is around 30 elo stronger than Komodo 8 on 16 threads?


On all my testsuites it's the other way around, but that may be just down to small sample size etc.
My prediction is 30. Andreas as of now gets 27.
You get 32 thread Komodo 8 weaker than 16 thread on testsuites? Don't know why, generally testsuites are not very well representing the strength. For Komodo even TTD is not the measure, so we are left only with playing actual games, and many of them. That is what Andreas is doing. The hard and the only way.

Thank you very much for this excellent test, and for all your tests. I will prepare a post in context of arguments about the scaling with number of threads.
