Here are some nodes-per-second ratings for the different versions on a G1 phone and a Nexus One phone. Android 2.2 (aka Froyo) features the Dalvik JIT compiler, which benefits the built-in Java engine, but not the native UCI engines.

Code: Select all

                       G1              Nexus One
                       Android 1.6    Android 2.2
BikJump Java built-in      2 KN/s         23 KN/s                  
BikJump v1.8 native       15 KN/s         85 KN/s
BikJump v2.1 native       28 KN/s        116 KN/s

I now also compiled stockfish v1.8 as native UCI engine for Android and asked Tord if I can make that binary available.

I talked with the stockfish team and they very kindly agreed to make the natively compiled UCI binary of stockfish1.8 available through their website.

I compiled the new stockfish1.9 for Android and asked the stockfish team to kindly provide this binary as well.
