Timestamps of Stockfish.

Post by Ajedrecista »

Hello:

I took a look on this post and following ones:

http://immortalchess.net/forum/showthre ... post380626

Unfortunately, some people do not know the meaning of timestamps. Let me clarify their meaning: these timestamps are 'seconds since 1970'. I did a quick search on Google and here is one of those timestamps converters/calculators:

UTC calculator.

So timestamp = 1368993649 means May 19th, 2013 at 20:00:49 GMT. It is a way to record the time of the compilation.

@George and Tom: thank you very much for your frequent tests. :)

Regards from Spain.

Ajedrecista.

Woooow, Jesús! This is a very surprising -for me- answer. Thank you very much for clarifying it for us. :-)

Kind regards from Barcelona.

...and indeed it says in http://abrok.eu/stockfish/ :

Date: Sun May 19 22:00:49 2013 +0200
Timestamp: 1368993649

Thanks, Jesus!

Re: Timestamps of Stockfish.

I see no functional change from 23.5 to 27.5 so I could expect no improvement.

I also guess that 27.5 is slightly slower than 23.5

did not test it but I am based on the following post of marco:

https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic ... 3OoPjmqBkY

"I have merged pawn structure in main evaluation (with the small speed penalty of an additional apply_weight call every time we call evaluate, instead before was done only at pawns evaluation)."

In other words marco admits that the change from 25.5 made stockfish slightly slower.

Following Chess Dragon suggestion I retested Stockfish 01/06/2013, now with Sleeping Threads = Off and Min Split Depth= 6

The result was better than using standard settings. (See post above). Let's keep testing.
