Subject: AMD Optimized Crafty updated (Linux!)

Hi again :) From the benchmarks I've done it looks like Crafty is faster now in
Linux from these optimized binaries. You can get them at
http://12.255.147.62/crafty/

Here are some benchmarks to compare the binaries to... (all tests were run on a
1.81Ghz AthlonXP, 512mb PC2400 DDR, KT266a chipset)

All Crafty v18.12

Crafty compiled with GCC (???KB) (-O2):
Total nodes: 105131537
Raw nodes per second: 834377
Total elapsed time: 126
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 5.079365


Crafty compiled with GCC (???KB) (-O2 -march=athlon -mcpu=athlon):
Total nodes: 105131537
Raw nodes per second: 847834
Total elapsed time: 124
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 5.161290


Binary off of Hyatt's FTP (768KB):
Total nodes: 105131537
Raw nodes per second: 1061934
Total elapsed time: 99
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 6.464646


CraftyK7-Win32 (228KB) Thunderbird Optimized:
Total nodes: 105131537
Raw nodes per second: 1095120
Total elapsed time: 96
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 6.666667


CraftyK7-Linux (205KB) Thunderbird Optimized:
Total nodes: 105131537
Raw nodes per second: 1106647
Total elapsed time: 95
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 6.736842


CraftyK7-Linux (205KB) AthlonXP Optimized:
Total nodes: 105131537
Raw nodes per second: 1130446
Total elapsed time: 93
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 6.881720


As you can see isn't much of a difference between Hyatt's Win32 binary and this
one but under linux the difference is massive. I updated my email address here
so if you have any questions/comments or whatnot feel free to email me, I'd like
to hear it works out for you.

Note: The AthlonXP linux binary will ONLY run on a cpu with SSE
(AthlonXP/MP/Morgan). The Thunderbird dll should run flawlessly on any
AthlonTB/Duron (even classic Athlon).
