Hi All:

This is my first post here, so be patient
I really need help in finding a Nalimov 6 men TBs Generator for Windows 32bit, I want to generate my own TableBases, The problem is that I can't access ftp sites or emule or any thing like it, onle direct download links will do or may be Rapidshare, Megupload..

Any one can help me

Best Regards,

Ok I'll make it easier can any one send me the runtbgen.rar that's mentioned else where in this forum, it's available on the PAKMAN ftp server to this mail sassynimrod@yahoo.com

Done !

I want that toy for Win32 too. Please, gimme. Links, ftp (PAKman's isn't working or too busy now), email, whatever.

thanks in advance.

I have downloaded 6 MEN TBs GENERATOR from the link above.

1) What is the command to generate complete 3-4-5 table base?
2) what is the command to generate complete 6 men table base?

Thanks!

TBGEN crashes for me:

Any help?
Thx

I don't know, how much memory is required per position, but

1301488080 positions / byte per position = 1.21 gb

so you have to check whether you have enough ram for this operation

Bingo, now it works with Vista64:

TbGen -2 -m auto -b 128 -d C:\TB\345 -v -c 256 knnknn

Time for this:: 1h 5min, its ok;-)

I have 6 GB RAM, in Vista32 "-m auto" crashes permanently, 4 GB- 32bit- Bug?

Is there a "-4" option in the future (for my quad;-)

thank you, codeman!

A 32bit operating system can't address more than 4GB. So it would be possible that the generation takes 4 byte per position and this just exceeded this limitation.

4 bytes would make sense, as Nalimovs egtb are DTM, which have to store values > 256 for 6men. Thus it probably reserves 2 bytes per position. And this *2 as it tries to hold white and black to move in ram.

If that is the case, then the generation in such a way is not the most efficient way possible, regarding memory usage.

Anyway .. good luck for your further egtb generation attempts.

i am also in need of a 6man namilove generator to run on my 32-bit comp

help please

btw- i am no proggrammer and wouldnt know what to do with anyones code
