Stockfish 2.1
Posted: Thu May 05, 2011 6:58 am
At the same location is now available a faster recompile (stockfish 2.1.1).
PS-Oops: seems to be some trouble in Linux recompile... Wait!

I skipped Stockfish 2.0 for these reasons, will wait for stable version 
And, I suspect it'll be as unusable for analysis as 2.0.1 was, so I'll stick with the Gran2k/flfh series for a while
Still, it's great to see improvement, Stockfish has continued to climb my core engines list since version 1.5, I wouldn't be surprised if a future version was my top main engine.

Hi,Uly.
I'm looking at Martin's tournament. Chessbomb, for evaluating positions, moved to sf.2.1 from 2.0.1variations, based on what was suggested in this forum, and evals seem more stable...

I do not understand the need for this actually: generic compiled stockfish on both boxes (Intel/AMD in this case) are already faster (than accompanied binary); adding flags '-march=native' or simply '-msse3' and so on give even more convincing results (PGO-compiling with gcc seems intersting too (doesn't matter whether g++ 4.4/4.5/4.6 is used-all deliver fast binaries)).PS-Oops: seems to be some trouble in Linux recompile...

IMO it would better if you could send your comment directly to Jim Ablett on Talkchess...
( sorry for the PM I sent you: mouse slip..)

ok - I got icc Version 12.0.4 installed and tried various (and default) switches and settings (incl. pgo) on a (mid june 2010) mac mini (wizz se Debian-linux* of course): It's definitely not worth the hassle, as no reliable speedups emerged of its use opposed to gcc.
Removing this (locally installed) intel product therefore.
*unstable/recurrent results
$stockfish bench 32 1 10 default depth
vary from 835 kn/s (stable; ja-64-bit-binary)
to 855 kn/s (stable, gcc), 965 kn/s (unstable, gcc) and 840 kn/s (stable, icc, pgo), resp. 930 kn/s(unstable->740kn/s also occurs, icc '-axSSE3')
