How Long to generate 5 men Tablebases

[beachknight]

I wrote

tbtest 4

on console mode.

And got "tablebases test ---> PASSED".

Does that mean all 4 B tbs ok?

Just started with:

cores 3

tbgen 5

Lets see how many hours it takes.

If you're familiar with the command line just run the tbcheck from the gaviota directory. By default it checks the gtb directory there.

Believe so 3-4 are relatively small. Curious how long it takes you to do the 5men. I'm running it on an old machine with very small resources and it's taken 2 weeks as of today. 1.3ghz, 1gig ram 1 core.

Suspect it'll take a lot less on a more modern system especially with multiple cores.

So far 104 files created overnight. Size is now 15+ GB and counting

What are the end targets of them: 300 files and 40 GB?

Just done it. All files are ok. 41 files are absent.
I see: Number of files : around 145 (half of 290).
I'll use four cores tonight. Hope that having the
full set tomorrow morning.

Things are slowing down. Only 6 files have been produced.
Generation times per file are getting longer.

It will take more time than I thought for the last 35 files.

We will finish the process.

138 files have been generated so far. 35.5 GB in total.

7 more files and we have done.

Finally! All 140 files have been generated. Plus 5 files,
we have 145 files in gtb folder. The complete size of the
directory is 38,4 GB (41.301.475.840 bytes) Just checked
with tbtest. All 200+ positions were correctly solved.
Tbtest 5 PASSED.

Congrats, I just finished as well and have the same stats.

Going to bzip2 -9 the files and upload to my site. Then once the official compressor is out I can convert them on the server.
