Myrddin 0.93 JA Release

Post by JVMerlino »

With a multitude of thanks to Jim Ablett, Myrddin 0.93 JA has been released. Expected (aka "hoped for") CCRL rating of ~3150.

https://github.com/JVMerlino/Myrddin/re ... Myrddin093

There are Windows, Linux & Android builds. Jim also created a custom version for Windows that supports UCI. Thank you again!

A few important points from the release notes:
  • Now supporting the xboard "memory" command (requested by Martin Sedlak)
  • Increased the maximum number of SMP processes to 32 (requested by Lars Hallerstrom)
  • Fixed a bug in pondering introduced in v0.90. Myrddin would restart thinking at depth 1 even if the expected ponder move was made by the opponent.
  • Found a bug that caused the Eval hash size to be 2MB instead of 32MB
  • Default Transposition hash size is now 256MB

Thank you !

I think it's a problem regarding the hash setting (at least in the classical WB version):

Thanks for reporting! I'll look into this, but the value you are requesting is only for the transposition hash. There is also a fixed size eval hash and other memory allocations, along with an embarrassingly large 10MB stack. :cry:

Also note that another tester reported that requesting more than 1GB of transposition hash will not work properly. This has been fixed, but I'm not going to ask Jim Ablett to make another set of builds. It will be fixed in the next release, whenever that is. :)
