An 8 "core" machine, i.e. fake intel count number
$ grep -m1 '^model name' /proc/cpuinfo
model name : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4810MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
in debian rules file:
SSE = --enable-simd=avx --enable-simd=sse2 --enable-threads -with-gtk
--with-board3d --with-python
compiled with gcc (Ubuntu 8.3.0-6ubuntu1) 8.3.0 -O3
position id: 4NvBGECYr8ELAA:MBngAAAAIAAE
rollout cube action:
So make this sse2.
8 threads: 93 seconds
4 threads: 100 seconds On stock debian: 111 seconds
2 threads: 172 seconds
1 thread: 312
with avx, 8 threads: 81 seconds and 99 seconds with 4 threads, so maybe a small improvement, maybe not.
