This was a vaguely related post about setting amount of hash for Pro Deo under
Arena if installed as Winboard engine. After the "w" parameter it is maybe
possible to give Arena on the command line the name of the engine (.eng)- file
that you want to use, for instance


prodeo.exe w7 rebel.eng

But I'm not entirely sure that works in Arena. Possibly it should be entered as
"prodeo.exe w7 rebel.eng", that is within "".

Hi Gerald,

you probably set up ProDeo as an UCI Engine using the WB2UCI converter...
therefore Arena will not show the memory used by ProDeo, but the one used by the
converter. That's roughly the 1MB you are seeing.

However you could set up as a Winboard engine (ProDeo IS a WB engine and Arena
supports the WB protocol). Just chose the file "prodeo.exe" instead of
"rebeluci.exe" and set the engine type to winboard. Then you can change the
HT-size via the command line options - the option w7 for instance will make
ProDeo use roughly 128MB.

Cheers,

Martin
