Question for Richard Vida aobut Critter 0.52b 64 Bit

Post by mhalstern »

Critter 0.52b 64 Bit is a very impressive engine. I'm surprised a single core engine plays so well with a deep search. Are there plans for a mp version that can utilize 4 cores?

Thanks

Version 0.60 which is SMP capable is almost ready. It's currently in testing/debugging phase. With 2 cores it works flawlessly so far, but the engine occasionally hangs with 4 cores.
I hope that I manage to fix it soon and there will be a public release next week.
