Not particularly.  I did write inline asm functions (64 bit versions) for the
"big three" in Crafty.  FirstOne(), LastOne() and PopCnt().  They only give a
few percent in terms of speed however.

Do you have a favorite position you'd like me to run?  I have the machine set up
for use until at least next Sunday night late (after CCT) so I can run a test
position if you have a favorite.

What I have mostly done for the AMD NUMA stuff is to try to eliminate most of
the global data that is updated on the fly.  Things like the history counts. I
have also done some things such as shrink the attack tables by 75% as I reported
a week or two or three ago.  Other than that, the 64 bit stuff in Crafty was
just waiting for this kind of hardware...

Here is the bench output, using all 4 processors, for a
reference:


Total nodes: 84930980
Raw nodes per second: 7720998
Total elapsed time: 11
SMP time-to-ply measurement: 58.181818
