Vajolet2 released

[elcabesa]

today I'm proud of releasing a total rewrite of my chess engine Vajolet.

the new engine named Vajolet2 is a singlethread chess engnie written in C++11.
It should be stronger than Vajolet-2.48 and it should crash less than this very buggy release.
It will work on windows and linux, I'm providing a 32 bit executable for windows and both 32 and 64 bit version for Linux.

If someone could compile a windows 64 bit version for me, I'll be very grateful

Congrats, Marco.

And the source?.
I can try.

[elcabesa]

the source can be downloaded from http://code.google.com/p/vajolet/source/browse/, there is a download zip link.

th code should be compilable with gcc.
it doesn't work with msvc++

Exciting news!
Thanks.

I want to try but there is no Makefile or command script.

Version with TDM-Mingw64 no popcnt.

My compilation with instructions popcnt works much slower than "normal, no popcnt".

Maybe someone can fix.

[elcabesa]

could you please launch the program and then type "bench"

the finale result should be:
Nodes searched : 29369660

[velmarin]

Not the problem
up popcnt
down no popcnt



It looks the best performance.

Compiles perfect
Normally I do not work with this compiler, I investigate own curiosity, but with some time.

The executable is almost double the engine 32 bit on my machine, even so.

[elcabesa]

I just realized I didn't tell yuo my compile parameters

I compiled vajolet with these options:
-O3 -msse2 -Wall -Wextra -c -fmessage-length=0 -std=c++11
and linked it with:
-s -static

may I also ask you the speed of the 32 bit version?

[velmarin]

Your version, 32 bits.

Prove what you say,
but with a little time.
Thank you, Marco.
