Hi Bob, I guess what I was thinking is that if I have alot of similar EPD positions in a file and I run crafty on the data set that there is a chance that some of the positions solutions would be found more quickly if there was some cache hits from previous positions. I may be wrong since I am not quite sure what crafty does but I seem to remember that at times cache hits on similar positions can sometimes help in finding a solution. Is this correct? If I am wrong then are you saying that if I have 20 very similar positions in a file and run crafty on them that there wont be a difference in solution time whether I run the epd psotions one at a time (thus resetting cach automatically) vs running all 20 positions in a batch type mode? Thanks, Les
