Subject: Some opteron results for Crafty

Author: Robert Hyatt

I have been working both with Eugene and AMD.  The following bench run is
on a quad 1.8ghz opteron, 8 gigs of ram.  The only "option" I have set is
"mt=4".  There is _no_ assembly code in this version, pure C only.  I am
looking at updating the asm to 64 bit but that will take some time and
studying.

Meanwhile:

Crafty v19.6 (1 cpus)

White(1): mt=4
max threads set to 4
White(1): bench
Running benchmark. . .
......
Total nodes: 105863114
Raw nodes per second: 5881284
Total elapsed time: 18
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 35.555556

This is using gcc, although I am not sure whether it is producing 64 bit
or 32 bit code at the moment.  However, 5.8M nps is not bad.  About 1M less
than Eugene's MSVC numbers.  I will look into the 64 bit stuff more to see if
gcc is producing real opteron assembly or not...  And I will study the
PGO options although the list time I tried them on GCC the compiler promptly
crashed. :)

Note that the above is with default hash and everything, no endgame tables,
no opening book, etc...
