[Bug-gnubg] Optimal settings for MacBookPro

[pierre zakia]

Hi everybody,

What are the optimal settings for gnubg installed on a MacBook Pro 15" Intel Core i7 2.66 GHz (April 2010 model) ?

The build is Version 0.9.0, running on Snow Leopard (10.6.5) without any problem;

I have played changing figures in Settings/options/others/Eval threads from 1 to 10, guessing 4 will be optimal. 

But strangely enough, I got the best figure in the evaluation speed for 3, larger than 110 000 000  (better than with 1 or 2) and plummeting to 40 000 000 with 4.

Any clue ?

What is the optimal figure to put in the Cache Size box ?

Any other default settings I should change ?

Thanks for your answers.

Regards

Pierre

www.xs4all.nl/jes2 (my mistake, my account was jes-2.demon.nl, when
xsrall bought demon my account was migrated and the '-' was accidently
dropped

Further clarification wouldl be needed. How can a program decide when
a hit would be silly? I think defining when a hit is advisable or not
is quite complex. You'd need to look at gnubg's evaluation of hitting
vs not hitting, bbut that evaluation won't be available if you didn't
get a roll where a hit was possible.
