Binaries for Windows & Android (ARMv7, ARMv8) can be found here. As always, I highly suggest that anyone capable of building their own Ethereal do so. A trivial "make", or "make pext" (For BMI2/PEXT machines) will suffice, under any resonable gcc. Normally I provide a NOPOPCNT, POPCNT, and PEXT binary. This time, I will be adding two other ones to the list: SEE41, and SEE41-PEXT. These may be a bit faster, assuming your CPU can support them. Please try them before defaulting to the POPCNT or PEXT compiles. Again, please compile your own Ethereal if you can.
The following are all the patches:
Code: Select all
12.26: Tune all of the search margins using the skopt tuner
12.27: Penalize Queen's that may be prone to discovered attacks
12.28: Have QueenRelativePin only evaluate truly discovered attacks
12.29: Use knowledge of fail-highs/fail-lows to tweak LMR
12.30: Revert all of the changes from V12.29
12.31: Apply a slight non-functional speedup to Probcut
12.32: Fix a hanging pthread which used up resources over time
12.33: Add UCI option "AnalysisMode" to toggle TB behaviour
12.34: Replace Fathom with Pyrrhic, adding 7-man support
12.35: Kick up the version number due to Pyrrhic
12.36: Update to latest Pyrrhic and fix TB_LARGEST bugs
12.37: Tune all evaluation terms using a new dataset methodology
12.38: Tune and tweak King Safety interactions using a Standard book
12.39: Delete the old tuning code and upload the new AdaGrad tuner
12.40: Add an option to the tuner to print verbatim source code
12.41: Tune every term in the evaluation using a Standard book
12.42: Tune all of the "normal" terms using a larger Standard book
12.43: Increase max hash usage to 128GB
12.44: Redefine how we delta prune in the qsearch
12.45: Tune all of the "complexity" terms using a Standard book
12.46: Tune all of the "normal" terms using a FRC book
12.47: Reduce many of the pruning margins in the search
12.48: Add a 512KB Evaluation Cache to each Thread
12.49: Make the PSQTs Asymmetrical ([64], not [32])
12.50: Tune the PSQT using a mix of FRC + Standard games
Setting up the Client to contribute games is very manageable for Windows, and downright trivial for Linux. I'm happy to answer any questions here, through my email (andrew@grantnet.us), or on Discord (Andrews#9072), for anyone who is interested in supporting the development of the many open-source engines housed on OpenBench.
As always, a big thanks to Noobpwnftw for his support on the framework. All contributors of CPU time to OpenBench can be found here
