Lc0 settings for Leela on GPU- Nvidia RTX 2080

[viditchess]

Hi guys,
The title says it all. Could anyone tell me what are the ideal settings for lc0 on the GPU, RTX 2080. I have downloaded the lc0 0.21 version and the network 32930.

P.S the processor is Ryzen thread ripper 2950x, if it matters.

Thanks!

Settings to change:
NNcache = 2x - 10x your kNs for games, so maybe 800000 to 1 million? Use 10 million or more for long analysis
Backend = cudnn-fp16 for your card
Cpuct = 3.4
Cpuct base = 10000
Cpuct factor = 2.3
Fpu reduction = 1.1
Max collision visits = 256

You should also get your Leela ratio, so you’re not giving too much power (kNps) to either GPU or CPU: https://github.com/dkappe/leela-ratio

I’ve typed the process for getting your Leela ratio here: http://westportchessclub.org/public/com ... -ratio.txt. Or, you could just ask people who have similar rigs what their ratio is and match that. I’d suggest using only 4 CPUs for CPU engines on your rig as a start. More than that will favor CPU engines.

Download the latest NVIDIA drivers, too.

Good luck!

The most important setting that is not default is
--backend=cudnn-fp16
(it will improve nps a lot, and default is just cudnn without fp16).

For other params defaults are good enough, you can fine-tune them to squeeze some more strength, but those will give only small improvements.

Thank you, everyone, for their valuable inputs. I put 4 threads and changed backend to fp16. It seems to be working fine. What is the ideal way to see its speed?

[sincerelybrent]

If you “only” have one GPU, the ideal thread count is 2.

[viditchess]

Oh okay! Changed the threads to 2.

How do I find its speed?

[sincerelybrent]

Start analyzing positions, watch the kNs is best imo

Hi

these are my lc0.config settings:

--backend=cudnn-fp16
--threads=4
--nncache=20000000
--slowmover=0.800
--max-collision-events=256
--minibatch-size=1024
--syzygy-paths=E:\syzygy-5;E:\6-wdl;E:\6-dtz

I am using a RTX2070 @ 1900MHz
PC is a i7 6700 quad / 8 threads @ 4.0 GHz and 16 GB RAM.

in console mode with net 41191 and command go nodes 2500000
I get arround 35500 nps when its done
regards, C.K.
