This is the first release where we have took full advantage of the power of our distributed and public testing framework. At one point we reached 41 active machines connected for a total of 136 cores and a compound testing power of 190M nps (nodes per second). This is even more noteworthy considering that Gary’s 24 core monster was offline at that moment.

But is the the ‘public’ part of our development model that is the real advantage we have and without which the improvement above SF 3 would have not been possible, no matter how hardware we throw at it.

So here is the list of developers that contributed to this release:

Code:

Dan Schmidt
Dariusz Orzechowski
Eelco de Groot
Gary Linscott
jhellis3
Joona Kiiski
jundery
Leonid Pechenik
Marco Costalba
Reuven Peleg
Ryan Schmitt
Ryan Takker
Tom Vijlbrief
Uri Blass

A special thank to Daylen Yang, our precious webmaster and builder of the Mac binaries, to Peter Österlund for the Android version and to http://abrok.eu/stockfish/ from which I have, shameless, took the Windows binaries.

For the first time since Stockfish was borne, Jim Ablett didn’t compile the official builds and this is a big miss for us and for me in particular. I’d like to publicly thank him again for the help and support during all these years.

Finally a note for the user. In this version there is no more automatic detection of CPU count, so at startup Stockfish always defaults to 1 thread. In case you want to use more than one CPU you have to manually set the “Threads” UCI option accordingly.

Have Fun
SF Team

AMD Phenom II users need to go to
http://abrok.eu/stockfish/

to get an X64 compile that works, i.e.
stockfish_13082009_x64_modern.exe

The non-SSE4.2 x64 one is not in the download package from stockfish.org.

It should be made clearer that Linux compilations can be found by following the "Dev Versions" link.

And also, there is no x64 compile in the Windows download package that works on AMD Phenom II. That should be remedied. The one that works and they should include is stockfish_13082009_x64_modern.exe


PLEASE NOTE
For the people compiling themselves please verify build is ok running:

./stockfish bench

Searched node count must be: 4132374
