Hi, msdiniz! Special verion without PGO (Intel 14.0 compiler) Mars 1.5 SSE4.2 no PGO
I suppose that Intel's SSE means "for Intel SSE CPUs only". But anyway try the new one.

This said Chess_Dragon from Immortal forum:

Thank you very much, Trap, for all the versions!!

I read that popcnt accounted for most of the speed increase with newer CPU's, and mine looks very fast.

Code:

--AMD Ph.II X6 @ 3.3 GHz

Mars 1.5 non-SSE x64
compiled by Trap
POPCNT: yes

6 CPUs
using 6 threads

go movetime 100000

-Windows 7 Home
info multipv 1 time 100012 nodes 996517752 nps 9963000 score cp 15 depth 23 ...
bestmove g1f3 ponder g8f6

He has the same CPU and average speed ~10 000 kn/s. I think Mars non-SSE is good enough for AMD.

tks....   non SSE work well...

No, Mars 1.5 still the best version.

More than enough games was played.

Is this version based on Ivan or Fire? I will say early on it appears to have made real progress and is stronger than Mars 1.0 or 1.1 currently a 30-50 point gain I expect if it holds but I hate to say that based on a handful of games of 6500 but so far it appears to be able to play with the very top engines and at times is down right BRUTAL!

It based on Fire 2.2.

I would not be surprised if Mars 1.5 cracks my top ten when I stopped the tournament (to add Komodo 7a and another engine) after 46 games it was ahead of these impressive engines: Equinox2.02,Komodo CCT,Deep Matrix, Ivanhoe B50Q,Bouquet 1.7, Samsung 1.0, Rybka 4.0, Critter 1.6a, Fire 3.0, Firenzinia 2.4.2, DeepSaros eXp, Ryanfish 1.0 and ten or so other strong engines but I think the point is made that this is a very powerful engine!!  

Mars 1.8 AVX x64 +6 ELO above Mars 1.5.

Mars 1.8 12 versions

Is it stronger than Mars 1? if so, I'll give it a try.

I'm sure that Mars 1.8 is stronger.

Mars 1.9 AVX x64

Mars 1.91 AVX x64

Mars 1.91 x64

Mars 1.91 - 12 versions (x64 & x86)

Will you design a version that will support egtb and does your latest version support SSE4.2 instructions? Thanks.

What engine is Mars 1.91 based off of? I would like to run an engine test.

I will design a version with egtb if Mars will be much stronger than now.
You can find the latest version that supports SSE4.2 instructions here  (Mars_1.91_SSE4.2_x64.exe or Mars_1.91_SSE4.2_x86.exe - but these versions are compiled for Intel only).

Mars 2.0 x64

tks.. majortom... some improvement strength in Elo? ...
