Allie 0.4 Windows source code - executable for CPU too?

Post by Norbert Raimund Leisner »

Hello,

the author of Allie 0.4 https://github.com/manyoso/allie/releases/ , Adam Treat, wrote:
"Add CPU only option for Allie by reusing the BLAS backend from Leela"
https://github.com/manyoso/allie/commit ... f8df1a52c4

Well, after adding three missing files from Lc0 (cublas64_100.dll- cudart64_100.dll amd cudnn64_7.dll) you can evoke allie0.4.exe (9c573a9) from 2019-05-31 with a double-mouse click and then press uci ok - but trying to embed this software with a weights-file into Arena or WinBoard GUI AA beta fails each time : application crashes immediately

Regards,
Norbert

The commit history says the BLAS commit was after the release of 0.4 and it is not even clear it would work.
However it was disabled in a later commit anyway.

This means you have to wait for a newer version.
