Since you’re here...

... we have a small favour to ask. More people, like you, are reading and supporting our blog: "Chess Engines Diary". And unlike many other sites and blogs, we made the choice to keep our articles open for all, regardless of where they live or what they can afford to pay.

We hope you will consider supporting us today. We need your support to continue to exist, because good entries are more and more work time. Every reader contribution, however big or small, is so valuable. Support "Chess Engines Diary" even a small amount– and it only takes a minute. Thank you.

Stockfish  - chess engines UCI Previous version chess engine Stockfish   Author compilation -  Lucasart Information on the compilation: Timestamp: 1448090633  Fix TT comment and static_assert()  Comment is based on a misunderstanding of what unaligned memory access is. Here  is an article that explains it very clearly:  https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/unaligned-memory-access.txt  No matter how we define TTEntry or TTCluster, there will never be any unaligned  memory access. This is because the complier knows the alignment rules, and does  the necessary adjustments to make sure unaligned memory access does not occur.  The issue being adressed here has nothing to do with unaligned memory access. It  is about cache performance. In order to achieve best cache performance:  - we prefetch the cacheline as soon as possible.  - we ensure that TT clusters do not spread across two cachelines. If they did,  we would need to prefetch 2 cachelines, which could hurt cache performance.
