Rodent IV message

Post by MOBMAT »

When I use Rodent IV, it outputs a message now and then.

"restarting lagging thread"

any ideas what causes this?

I'm testing on a i6700 cpu and have the threads set to 4, which is what I normally use for any engines that supports multiple threads.

Just ignore this message - this is a debug info that I forgot to switch off. Generally it means that one of the threads has been searching at depth two plies lower than the "best" thread, and because of that it has been restarted at greater depth.
