I am running bruce's epd suite for bionic-to-move positions on my quad xeon box... using version 15.20... but I just realized how we ought to do this... much faster, much more accurate, much less work: simply take the bionic executable, _and_ the wcrafty-15.20 executable from my ftp machine, and run them on this suite on the same machine (one cpu only preferably) to the same time limit, and compare the results. That takes out _all_ variability... it ought to be run to 1 min, 2 min and then 3 min, just to allow for search speed variability for whatever they did. But the 1 min each run first might really answer the question about how close they are. My 15.20 run is matching a lot of moves, most of them in fact, so far. I am running at 1 min per move, which at 1600mhz is about like 1.5 mins or so on their hardware which I believe was about 1100mhz total... I'll post results probably in the morning. I am using the epdpfga command to produce one normal epd output record for each input line... using 'st=60' to set the time before doing the epd command, and I am running with hash=96M and hashp=20M, not knowing exactly what they used... more later...
