Subject: Re: Hash Tables in CB Tiger GUI - Another Question

Go up one level in this thread



The penny has finally dropped and I have just realized that you mean the
Fritz 5.32 engine and not an old Fritz 5.32 GUI. I got a bit of a shock to
see that it only takes about a minute to fill a 128MB hash allocation on
my 1.3 mhz AMD. This means that if I play a 40/120 tournament game, between
say Fritz and Junior, then my 512 MB total memory is probably not enough to
give these engines all the hash tables they can use. As I don't have the
patience to use this time control, I won't be rushing out to buy some more
memory :)

My question is :-

Is it fair to equate NPS to hash table size for all engines. For arguments sake,
if Fritz is getting 1 million NPS and Tiger 350K NPS, will Tiger only use
35% of the hash tables that Fritz uses or do some engines use significantly more
bytes per entry than others? If I can get the answer to this question then
perhaps I can set the hash table sizes more efficiently.

Thanks

IA
