If someone with a Linux box can generate a cmdline.h file, I may be able to create a Win32 version. I have one here, but I'm too lazy to go for it.

Smallpotato uses lots of ram and always seems to ponder.

Turns out, pondering is not a problem. It ponders when I run it from the command line, but somehow when running as a Winboard engine, it gets pondering sorted out correctly

At least here under WB 4.26 it still uses CPU time of the opponent
when ponder=off!
Moreover it uses more than 132MB Ram from start on!
:(( (almost unusable by now)

I almost busted out laughing the first time I saw it.
Maybe "The Tempo Toilet" would be even better.
Actually, the code is rather sophisticated. If he added an opening book, I think it would add 200 ELO to his program. Once it gets out of the opening phase, it stops playing like an utter buffoon.

Xboard compatiable of course.
If someone with a Linux box can generate a cmdline.h file, I may be able to create a Win32 version. I have one here, but I'm too lazy to go for it.
Smallpotato uses lots of ram and always seems to ponder.
Turns out, pondering is not a problem. It ponders when I run it from the command line, but somehow when running as a Winboard engine, it gets pondering sorted out correctly

At least here under WB 4.26 it still uses CPU time of the opponent
when ponder=off!
Moreover it uses more than 132MB Ram from start on!
:(( (almost unusable by now)

Regards,
Günther
Pondering is not implemented yet, so ponder is always off, really. The code is there so that one day pondering will do something but right now, it just does a thread yield (which in linux, seems to work fine. when not it's turn it consumes about 0.1% of cpu time on my machine)
command line option to set hashtable size. The default is 4 million entries, which comes to about 100Mb. I should change it so you can specify memory occupied instead of number of entries
if you do smallpotato --help, you should see all the options

Hmmm...
Seems to be OK on my machine. I have to give it a new name though.
"The Rook Wobbler."

Do you mean sth like (1. Na3?!) 2.Rb1?! 3.Ra1?? 4.Rb1??? :))
I almost busted out laughing the first time I saw it.
Maybe "The Tempo Toilet" would be even better.
Actually, the code is rather sophisticated. If he added an opening book, I think it would add 200 ELO to his program. Once it gets out of the opening phase, it stops playing like an utter buffoon.

It will only do the rook-dance when run without a values table loaded.
My reccomendation is to run with the following command line:
smallpotato -values aleweights.out -r 3
You can get aleweights.out by running
python procvalues.py aleweights
(you'll need python, of course )
I've added aleweights.out to the public site:
http://members.optushome.com.au/alito/aleweights.out
Btw, my version of smallpotato plays on FICS regularly as 'unches', if anyone wants to give it a try and can't be bothered downloading it.

Hello Alejandro,
Thanks for your fast answering! Most of the problems mentioned here
could be solved now.
1.) With the aleweight file its opening play is much better as you said :)
2.) I was able to set the hashsize command and it works,
1000000 entries give on my machine around 33MB ram usage :)
Though I have to say that the given command for seeing the help file
did not force any response in a DOS shell ("go" worked) but I found
the right command in your source files. ("-hs")
3.) I am sorry to say that the last problem is still unsolved
(opponents CPU using even when ponder = off!) and I strongly
suppose its a problem of the OS (WIN98SE) as others here like
Leo and Dann seemed to have no problem under WIN2K.

Best regards,
Günther
Günther Simon

Hi Alejandro,
Forget what I wrote in my first post, SmallPotato appears
to be very strong!
But I still have the problem that it uses 50% CPU time of the
opponent when it' s not to move even with ponder=off under
my WIN98Se.
As I would really like to see it playing in my soon starting tourney,
I beg you for a solution.
Kind regards,
Günther

Definitely not the words i would use
I've got a hack in mind which i think would work, but a problem i've got at the moment is that i cannot compile my own version under cygwin, and i want to stop hassling Dann Corbit for them. Once i get that working, i'll post a new version with hopefully this fixed.

ok, problems solved. i wrote a simple benchmark to run in parallel while i was using smallpotato to check if it was being slowed down at all, and there is no slowdown. i've put the executable on the web page below.

I have already tested it and it's all ok now.
(Btw just a cosmetical question: Is it possible by adding
a commandline parameter that it shows thinking under Winboard?)

no, sorry, analysis is not implemented yet (even worse, the program doesn't know what the PVS is so all it could report would be best score, and best first move for now)
