Dear Experts,

It has been so long that i could not have any time to enhance my engine.

I was constantly planning to add LazySmp. And finally, nowadays, i found some free time for the addition.

Now, the version “0130” supports LazySmp on 4 cores and according to my testings it is +100-120 ELO points better than previos version, that makes estimated ELO in 2950 - 3000 range.

I highly appreciate your testing whenever you are available.

Thank you in advance.
All the best.

Is it possible for you to put all of the files that are necessary to run Ynode, into one folder for download?

I can't figure out how to run this engine.
Doubleclicking on the exe won't open it.

I have found out what to do. You have to install this dotnet version: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down ... -installer

I tried the latest dotnet version (v7.0) as well but that was not successful. Version 3 is what you'll want.

Hello Graham,

Is everything OK ?
Could you run the EXE ? (It requires .Net Core 3.0 Framework)

If you want,i can rebuild the EXE for the .NET version that you already have.
Simply give me a green signal for it please.

Thank you.

I have the latest .net framework installed, so if you could provide an exe for that, I'd really appreciate it.

Could you please tell me exactly which .NET framework version you have installed ?

Thank you.

Hello Graham,

You can find the version compiled for .NET7 framework below.

Thank you.

Thank you.

That opens and responds to the UCI command on my .NET7 machine here. The previous version didn't, as Graham found.

Thank you for the prompt reply Ray.
Please feel free to ask me anything if you need.

Thank you again.

Maybe you could mention with the release which .NET version is required. It could save the investigation work by the users.

Thank you.

Thanks. I'll try it now, and assuming it's fine, it will replace Mess in Division 8.

I have started a tournament with version 0130. I set 256 MB for hash tables but the engine has a memory usage of almost 1 GB. Why is that?

Hi Graham,

I need to check.
This can be something related the latest NET framework that i recently upgraded to.

This can also hit the engine in negative way, if it causes paging/swapping.

I will check it.
Thank you informing me.

Hello Orhan,

I think you have mistaken me for Graham, I am Gabor.

I have installed both .NET3 and .NET7 so I could try both versions. There is no difference in the amount of memory used.

Sorry Gabor. Seemingly i am getting older
I will do the same analysis as well.

All the best.

Hi Gabor,

Thank you pointing out this memory problem. It was mainly caused by framework and hitting also engine's performance.
I fixed it.

I will publish a new version soon.

All the best.
