It's "stockfish bench".

Hello:

what is the command line to run the stockfish bench from the command window using windows 7?

In the command prompt, go to the path where SF is saved . Then type the name of the executable (without .exe) and this:

Code: Select all

stockfish-222-32-ja bench 128 1 12 default depth

128 means 128 MB of hash; 1 means the use of just one core; 12 means analysis up to depth 12; default and depth meanings can be found in benchmark.cpp file.

My modest result, in an Intel Pentium D930 (3GHz):

Code: Select all

===========================
Total time (ms) : 15047
Nodes searched  : 5447426
Nodes/second    : 362027

5447426 nodes searched is the correct number. Other number tells you that the executable is corrupted in some way, if I remember correctly. I found the info (because I also did not know how to do this test) of how to run benchmark command in a topic from Rybka Forum:

StockFish 1.7/1.7.1 Benchmark

I hope I had been enough clear. It would be good if you post the results of your great hardware!

Regards from Spain.

Here's a template, but for linux/OS X

Code: Select all

./stockfish bench 512 8 16 default depth

(Assuming the executable is named stockfish in the current directory.)

Sets the hashtable size to 512, 8 threads, default list of test postions, each searched to depth 16.

Code: Select all

stockfish-222-ja bench 256 2 16 default depth

In the above case you are asking stockfish to setup an
Hash Table of 256MB, start 2 Threads that search up
to depth 16 on a set of default positions with a
"fixed depth" search.

Stockfish’s new signature is: 5447426
(stockfish-222-64-ja.exe bench 128 1 12)

Total time (ms) : 5366
Nodes searched : 5447426
Nodes/second : 1015174

what is the command line to run the stockfish bench from the command window using windows 7?

I was clear in my question, but no answers are clear.

If I find the exe, then can I open the exe and then type a command?
do I open with a right click and then admin?
Do I have to go to accessories, command window first?
what is max hash

then what step by step.

thanks

From command window type full line >

stockfish-222-ja bench 256 2 16 default depth 

Max hash = 8192mb

nope wont work
what should I see in the window?
C:\Users\kb>

your line is not the same as my exe.

Do you know how to navigate to the stockfish directory in the command window?

Suppose the .exe program is is c:\stockfishfolder
and the executable is stockfish-222-32-ja.exe as Jesus mentioned

go to
start --> all programs --> accesories --> command prompt
(this may be slightly changed depending how the system is set up but it is not the only option http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/94 ... rompt.html)

type
c:
cd \stockfishfolder
dir

you should see stockfish-222-32-ja.exe listed.

Then type
stockfish-222-32-ja bench 128 1 12 default depth

as it was mentioned by Jesus

I do no have Stockfish and I am in Linux system but I think this will help you.
