- Update to 17:
* Improved engine lines
This release introduces principal variations (PVs) that are more
informative for mate and decisive table base (TB) scores. In both
cases, the PV will contain all moves up to checkmate. For mate scores,
the PV shown is the best variation known to the engine at that point,
while for table base wins, it follows, based on the TB, a sequence of
moves that preserves the game outcome to checkmate.
* NUMA performance optimization
For high-end computers with multiple CPUs (typically a dual-socket
architecture with 100+ cores), this release automatically improves
performance with a NumaPolicy setting that optimizes non-uniform memory
access (NUMA). Although typical consumer hardware will not benefit,
speedups of up to 2.8x have been measured.
