Re: IvanHoe 0B.01.08
I have managed to measure the speed increase between Ivanhoe and Houdini. Houdini has a speed advantage of almost 2000 kN/s. If you can make Ivanhoe as fast as Houdini + with its new time management, I am sure it would be able to surpass Houdini.

Re: IvanHoe 0B.01.08
Not quite. There are several reasons Houdini is much stronger; better eval, search (pruning), and SMP implementation -- which also contribute to the speed difference. All I did was changed 2 lines of code and that won't be enough...Damir Desevac wrote: I have managed to measure the speed increase between Ivanhoe and Houdini.

At very fast time control, I expect this build to be trashed like Rybka and other IvanHoe builds, so am really only looking at results for 10+0 and greater.

It's not very useful to compare node speeds between different engines, each engine has its own metric of "node speed".Damir Desevac wrote: I have managed to measure the speed increase between Ivanhoe and Houdini.

Re: IvanHoe 0B.01.08
Thanks for these -- I am getting similar results at 15+10 with current standing, +10/=10/-3. After the first few games, Houdini's chess engine pattern learning (CEPL) feature engaged full throttle.robbolito wrote:Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 870 @ 2.93GHz 8.0 GB Memory

Never heard about that...
Do you have more details, or links?

You'll have to ask Robert, though am not sure he's willing to share...

OK, I'll phrase that differently:kingliveson wrote:You'll have to ask Robert
where did Robert mention that? (or was it privately with you? )

Re: IvanHoe 0B.01.08
Perhaps related to this joke?
Laskos wrote:Yes, Houdini 1.5 has pattern recognition and learning from previous versions games against all the engines. It uses adaptive Monte Carlo with multidimensional parameter adapter specific to each engine it's playing. If you give Houdini 1.5 a new position to analyze, its level is much lower than Rybka 4, which is known to have the best analysis of the new positions. Sorry, new positions are not the realm of non-Rybka 4 engines.overtond wrote:Hi Robert,
Without going in to technical feedback {that I for one would not understand} have you written the code so that H1.5 makes use of previous analysis? I ask as I have read in many places that when H1.5 is used to play against other engines it is very strong in terms of results obtained, however, when a position is offered to H1.5 such that no previous information was available, the difference between H1.5 and other top engines {for example, R4} is less significant.
Is this something you are aware of?
