Houdini 1.5 is released

[Odeus37]

Thanks again for this very nice christmas gift. It was very difficult to download it yesterday (site overloaded), but I finally could get it, and I appreciate very much the Gaviota TB support.

I noticed the LP switch disappeared, but I guess I only need to run my chess GUI with administrative rights or not, to simulate the large Page switch (since I have still UAC on).

Thanks for new release.

Will add to my chess ladder.

Next set of challenges will include Deep Rybka 4 v Houdini 1.5 (both with Large Page support off).

The intent is that Houdini uses LP when Windows can provide them, so the UCI option is no longer required.
But I managed to inadvertently disable the large page support in my release compile .
I will correct this in the near future, currently waiting to see whether there are any other gaffes in the current version.

Cheers,
Robert

this is the end of the chessbase-rybka syndicate and their paid army "supporters"

Robert, just a suggestion here; could you make Houdini 1.5 able to use more cores than the 8 Threads default values? Maybe anywhere from 16 to 32 cores?

Robert, just a suggestion here; could you make Houdini 1.5 able to use more cores than the 8 Threads default values? Maybe anywhere from 16 to 32 cores?

The maximum number of threads isn't just a variable that can be freely changed in the executable.
Houdini has a special architecture in which every thread uses its own copy of the code tied down to a specific internal board representation. In other words, the 8-core version contains 8 copies of all the relevant code. A 32-core version would contain 32 copies of the code, the executable would be about 4 times larger than the 8-core version.

I will in the following week release a 16-core version for a limited number of test users that have already contacted me and are willing to do some tests. You can send an e-mail to the Houdini support address if you want to be part of this group.

I wasn't aware that making a 16+ cores in one executable file could result in a huge executable file. Thanks for the opportunity to test. I'll definitely keep this in mind.

[Tom Barrister]

Thanks for the update to this great engine. It looks like King Rybka is about to be dethroned.

My Fritz10 crashed after 3 games (4'+2"). After restart the Fritz10, it's did not happen after for 5 games. I'm using a Dell precision M4300. Not sure what happened.
