Chess Engine: Ceres 0.95 RC-7
Ceres Release Notes Minor Enhancements The initialization time to load network files is reduced by 60%, and memory consumption also significantly reduced (for example, by approximately 400mb with a 30b network). The new option "MaxTreeNodes" can be set either in Ceres.json or via UCI interface and limits the maximum total number of physical nodes actually allocated to the specified value (terminating searches if they reach the specified value). A bug with the searchmoves feature (when black was to play) is corrected. Some minor search performance optimizations were made, focused on concurrency efficiency (eliminting some locks and reducing false sharing) yielding about a 3% speedup for large searches on high-end hardware.
