Chess engine: Stockfish 21010816


Stockfish - UCI chess engine, compiled by MaximMolchanov
Rating JCER=3090

Timestamp: 1610120144
Affine transform refactoring.

Reordered weights in such a way that accumulated sum fits to output. Weights are grouped in blocks of four elements because four int8 (weight type) corresponds to one int32 (output type). No horizontal additions.
Grouped AVX512, AVX2 and SSSE3 implementations.
Repeated code was removed.

An earlier version passed STC:
LLR: 2.97 (-2.94,2.94) {-0.25,1.25}
Total: 15336 W: 1495 L: 1355 D: 12486 Elo +3.17
Ptnml(0-2): 44, 1054, 5350, 1158, 62
