But this version is about 20 ELO weaker than Mars 1.

Now Mars is based on IvanHoe.

I think Fire 2.2 is stronger than IvanHoe?! wink

Mars 1.5 x64 AVX

I found the file which I was compiled 8 months ago, did some tests and I hope this version is 5-10 elo above Mars 1. If I'll find the sources I'll do x86 (AVX, SSE and non-SSE) compiles and SSE, non-SSE x64 compiles.
Still based on Fire 2.2.

I like AMD processors but haven't got any to verify my compiles. I'll try to compile AMD compatible binaries too.

Thank you friend, I'm sure many people here in the forum who use AMD, will thank you best ...

Thanx.

I am thinking about to take Mars into my Endless RoundRobin-tournament (http://spcc.beepworld.de), but I would like to know, if the development of Mars continues?!?

1.1 is based on IH code and was not optimized like 1 version (based on F22). Therefore Mars 1.1 is weaker than Mars 1 by 15-20 elo.
I hope M1.5 is stronger than M1.1 by 20-25 elo.

I confused the sources, sorry.

This one is tested

These are not tested

I need some time to understand how strong these compiles Mars 1.5 all. If they are weaker, they will be replaced. Sorry.

False alarm smile

I compared old engine and new compiles in 3 different positions in 1 core mode - their output is absolutely the same: number of nodes, cp, pv, bestmove.

When I try to install it it gives me error: the program can't start becaus MSVCR120.dll is missing from your computer.

Fauzi, I think you could install Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2013.

but Mars 1.1 works fine with me without the need of installing anything like that

I compiled the earlier Mars versions with MS VS 2008, MS VS 2010 & MS VS 2012. And I suppose you already have run-time components that are required to run C++ applications that are built by using these MS VS versions. But Mars 1.5 is built by using MS VS 2013.

It appears Mars 1.5 has picked up some strength. cool

Early on seems around Fire 3.0's strength but I will run more test.

Mars 1.6 AVX x64 - a test version of Mars.
I'm testing it now. If it will be stronger its predecessor it will be released.

I can't make SSE versions for AMD because using Intel builder for these compiles. I'll try to make SSE version without PGO later. Maybe it solves the problem.
