Hi,
there have been a recent debate like "thingie" about crafty "does better
utilization of computer" then fritz (or most program). In reply to that Bob
posted that it is not true , however the utilization should be allmost the same.
And i believed that too. But wasnt sure about it. I downloaded this program
called "taskinfo", (shareware) and i did a test on crafty and fritz running on
one cpu under fritz interface. As Bob said the utilization was more or less the
same, it didnt differ more than 3 to 4% for both programs. It wasnt stable once
it was 4% better on fritz the other time it was 3% better on crafty. But also
this differances was also very rare. the most frequent differances was .50%. So
you can see (Christophe) that crafty_doesnt_utilize_more
_of_the_computer_resources ;0. To be sure that its the same in all circumstances
i tried it under winboard (crafty and goliath) and also used other programs
(exchess,comet,TCB,chessmaster7000). and they are more or less the same.
just sharing info,
thanks

ps, thus it mean that comp vs comp games are accurate in single cpu. If we
provide the same hash size, and everything else, wont it be the same for both
the programs? the only differance would be that in seperate CPU, programs would
play stronger, but in single cpu they might play comperably weaker.
