Re: Share Your Tablebases
What does 'Complete Sources' = 0 mean, for instance -- most of those are in my 'incoming' directory. I thought perhaps you were referring to the "Transfers" page on eMule when you said your "Incoming" directory. Perhaps not. No, I was referring to the 'Shared Files' tab (where, ...

Re: Share Your Tablebases
I note when I view my shares, there are hardly any blue files, most are gray, meaning there are not many shares of the tablebases out there. Are you sure? I ask, because the documentation seems to be zero on how to interpret 'Complete Sources'. I see that several files I know are shared by at least...

Re: Re"hashing" krppkr corruption -- Why the "patch" on emule?
When I do an emule search now for krppkr (which I know has a long thread about a corrupted file being dispersed due to a ChessBase copy), there's a "KRPPKR-Patch.exe" available to download. Is this a necessary file? What does it "patch"? As noone seems to have addressed the last...

>What type of download speeds should I be getting? Probably not possible to say, except over a period of a week or two: it depends mainly on your download bandwidth, but also on what systems you're connected to. Peers who are 'in debt' to you (they have downloaded more from you than you've downloade...

Re: How to install EGTBs ?
Depends on what version you have -- the original version cannot, but there's an update that adds the capability.Dhanish wrote:Confirmed, Fritz 8 cannot access 6 men tablebases.
Standard Fritz Upgrade if I recall -- perhaps it was also included on the Turbo Endgame CD/DVDs

You may want to ensure you are looking at the latest documentation.

Re: EGTB Testsuite
As you can see it is not a trivial task to construct a perfect test position for an endgame table. If you can manage to create any positions, please post here! For a start, may be some positions for testing 4-men or 5-men tables can be made. Just an observation: some positions in which a pawn is pr...

Re: EGTB generation
4) Access order is all important, As the generation time is totally dominated by access time, both at the Disk-I/O and the DRAM-access level, factor 5 to 10 can be gained (and lost!) by probing entries in different order, so that they need to be brought in cache again, while the same probe could ha...

Re: F1
Without having seen the declaration of PfnIndCalcFun, I can only guess that it is a function that returns a pointer to another function. Thus, you have two function calls: the first one -- PfnIndCalcFun(iTb, side) -- returns the pointer to the second function -- nameless here , but let's call it X -...

Re: EGTB generation
>A lot of space is still wasted by broken position, where stm is in check. Is this important? Disk space is very cheap today. Add to that that irregular structures in code tend to be expensive in the end: writing and debugging the structures used in the Edwards databases was probably far less expens...

Re:
For the forthcoming 7-man tablebases I believe the issue of compression should be revisited. This includes the block size (and consequence size of the index table), as well as the algorithm itself. A factor here is the uncompressed files: if they don't contain redundancies in a form that can be exp...
