SmarThink v1.80 is available

[Sergei S. Markoff]

The WinXP standalone version on WinXP SP3 / Core 2 Duo 3 GHz @3.6 GHz / 2 GB RAM in Fritz 15 GUI with 512 MB hash:





Tried clearing the book options in Engine Properties, still crashes. The other two 32-bit builds included in the download are not recognized as valid execs by WinXP..

On the 12-core/48 GB Xeon box (Win 7 Pro x64, F15 GUI) I tried all the x64 builds except the AVX one (not compatible with my system). Every one loaded locked into 1 CPU core (i.e. can't change the number of threads), the time counter window is the only one that works, all other windows remain blank. After a few seconds - an exception error from the GUI.

Conclusion: at this stage SmarThink v1.80 is not usable.

SmarThink never been multi-core.
I will try to make VC compile for XP...

SmarThink_v170_x64_intel_SSE3 works on my system but not 180.

Hello Sergei,

my essential hard-/software is:

Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit SP1
Intel Core i5 3470 @ 3.20GHz - Ivy Bridge 22nm Technology
RAM 4,00GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 798MHz
Motherboard ASRock H61M-DGS R2.0 (CPUSocket)
Graphics JT198x4-3 (1280x1024@60Hz) - Intel HD Graphics (ASRock)

v1.50x64 requires MSVCR100.dll - after installation into same folder it is o.k.
v1.50x64 SSE3 requires MSVCR100.dll including svml_dispmd.dll - after installation into same folder appears an error message by Windows: Application could not be executed (0xc000007b). Click on "ok" to close the application.

v1.80x64 respectively v1.80 x64 SSE3 requires libiomp5md.dll - after installation into same folder it is o.k.

Smarthink win32 causes no problems and run normally.
(I have Windows 7 32-bit too)

Conclusion: add MSVCR100.dll x64 http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... l?msvcr100 to the compressed 1.50 edition,
and delete the executable file 1.50x64 SSE3, please.

The SmarThink 1.80 package contains no libiomp5md.dll x64
http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-f ... libiomp5md

I have tried out two different svml_dispmd.dlls on the website http://www.filewatcher.com/_/?q=svml_dispmd.dll - both without success.

Your further v1.40x64 edition shows an identical behaviour like the mentioned above Smarthink v1.50x64.

Best wishes,
Norbert

I couldn´t load Smart Think 1.8 in Fritz 14 GUI (64-bit); Intel i7 CPU.

Smart Think has very interesting playing style, I am sorry that it doesn´t support more than 1 CPU.

Which of the executables have you tried?

[overlord]

At that time there were three executables (two of them 64 bit and one 32 bit), but right now 64 bit standalone version is working well.

Thanks very much Sergei for this new release
Nice improvment indeed
