We want to loudly fail in that case instead of silently fallback in a non-popcount compilation. Updated documentation too. Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com>

Big-endian compatible pop_1st_bit() Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com> Thu, 5 Nov 2009 18:29:26 +0000 https://git.sesse.net?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff;h=dc286d2673ef334c6bab0c4244a49a1b01e63cdc https://git.sesse.net?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff;h=dc286d2673ef334c6bab0c4244a49a1b01e63cdc Big-endian compatible pop_1st_bit() Big-endian compatible pop_1st_bit() Thanks to Eric Mullins we have now endian friendly pop_1st_bit() and also is removed the need to use -fno-strict-aliasing compiler option with GCC. Speed is almost as fast, very small difference if any in perft test, so I assume almost no difference in real games. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com>

Do not adjust Minimum Split Depth automatically Joona Kiiski <joona.kiiski@gmail.com> Fri, 24 Jul 2009 14:34:41 +0000 https://git.sesse.net?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff;h=5be3d98d175e22b182bbef3a3085c0828a3baf77 https://git.sesse.net?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff;h=5be3d98d175e22b182bbef3a3085c0828a3baf77 Do not adjust Minimum Split Depth automatically Do not adjust Minimum Split Depth automatically Currently minimum split depth is set automatically to 6 when number of CPUs is more than 4. I believe this is a bad idea since for example my quad (4CPU with hyperthreading) is detected as 8CPU computer. I've manually lowered down the number of Threads, but so far I have played all games with Minimum Split Depth set to 6! Since 4CPU computers with hyperthreading are quite common and 8 CPU computers extremely rear (I expect we can get a direct jump to 16 or 32 cores), this automatic adjusting is likely to do more harm than good. Add a note in Readme.txt, so that those rear 8CPU owners can manually tweak the "Minimum Split Depth" parameter Signed-off-by: Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com>

Disable POPCNT support per default Marco Costalba <mcostalba@gmail.com> Sat, 4 Jul 2009 08:07:45 +0000 https://git.sesse.net?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff;h=36437f14e8cbac4c6b883248cccc9e707e957c68 https://git.sesse.net?p=stockfish;a=commitdiff;h=36437f14e8cbac4c6b883248cccc9e707e957c68 Disable POPCNT support per default Disable POPCNT support per default This is mainly intended to allow 64 bit compiles on any system and avoid to crash when the binary, compiled on a box where POPCNT is not supported, is run on a Core i7 system or similar CPU. What could happen is that when compiled in a standard 64 bit system, because the correct headers for the POPCNT intrinsic are not found, the compiler creates dummy bit count functions instead, these are never called at runtime on the machine where Stockfish has been compiled. But if we run the same binary on a Core i7 system, because POPCNT is detected at run time, the dummy bitcount functions will be called giving false results that will crash the application. Note that would be possible to fallback on software bit count in these cases, but this is even more subtle because POPCNT path is not optimized so that we have an application working but at sub-optimal speed, so better to crash, at least user is loudly warned that there is something wrong. If, instead, Stockfish is compiled on a Core i7 system with POPCNT enabled, then if the PGO compile has been done properly, the same binary will run at optimal speed _both_ on the Core i7 machine and on any other 64 bit standard machine. This is the ideal mode for binary distribution. Finally this patch disables bsfq support under Windows, because it seems inline assembly is not supported both by MSVC and by Intel Windows version.
