Thanks
Berserk wouldn't be possible without Andrew Grant (Ethereal + Torch), Finn Eggers (Koivisto + Torch), and Kim Kåhre (Koivisto + Torch). They are excellent developers with an immeasurable amount of knowledge - it is a pleasure to discuss CC concepts with them and have the opportunity to work alongside them on the Torch Chess Engine.
Choosing a binary
Binaries currently require popcnt. Each binary is labeled with a standard minimum instruction set requirement. x86-64, sse2, ssse3, avx2 and avx512.
For those labeled with pext, your system requires bmi2 support. For AMD users, if you're using a Zen or Zen 2 processor, you should avoid the pext binaries as they will be slow.
If you're unsure which to use or what your processor supports
- Download them all
- Open them and run
go depth 24- If it crashes, you can't use it.
- Pick the fastest one
I highly recommend you follow the build guide in the readme to compile your own version. This will generate a native build for your machine and should be optimal as a result.
Contacting
I can be reached in the OpenBench discord if you'd like a custom binary for your system and can't compile it yourself.
