This decouples also the stat bonus updates from the threshold which creates less dependencies for tuning of stat bonus parameters. Perhaps a further fine tuning of the now separated coefficients for constHist[0] and constHist[1] could give further gains.

Date: Fri Jul 30 17:15:52 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1627658152 Avoid unnecessary stores in the affine transform This patch improves the codegen in the AffineTransform::forward function for architectures >=SSSE3. Current code works directly on memory and the compiler cannot see that the stores through outptr do not alias the loads through weights and input32. The solution implemented is to perform the affine transform with local variables as accumulators and only store the result to memory at the end. The number of accumulators required is OutputDimensions / OutputSimdWidth, which means that for the 1024->16 affine transform it requires 4 registers with SSSE3, 2 with AVX2, 1 with AVX512. It also cuts the number of stores required by NumRegs * 256 for each node evaluated. The local accumulators are expected to be assigned to registers, but even if this cannot be done in some case due to register pressure it will help the compiler to see that there is no aliasing between the loads and stores and may still result in better codegen.

Date: Sat Jul 24 18:04:59 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1627142699 Update the default net to nn-76a8a7ffb820.nnue. combined work by Serio Vieri, Michael Byrne, and Jonathan D (aka SFisGod) based on top of previous developments, by restarts from good nets. Sergio generated the net https://tests.stockfishchess.org/api/nn/nn-d8609abe8caf.nnue: The initial net nn-d8609abe8caf.nnue is trained by generating around 16B of training data from the last master net nn-9e3c6298299a.nnue, then trained, continuing from the master net, with lambda=0.2 and sampling ratio of 1. Starting with LR=2e-3, dropping LR with a factor of 0.5 until it reaches LR=5e-4. in_scaling is set to 361. No other significant changes made to the pytorch trainer.

Based on that Michael generated nn-76a8a7ffb820.nnue in the following way: The net being submitted was trained with the pytorch trainer: https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch python train.py i:/bin/all.binpack i:/bin/all.binpack --gpus 1 --threads 4 --num-workers 30 --batch-size 16384 --progress_bar_refresh_rate 30 --smart-fen-skipping --random-fen-skipping 3 --features=HalfKAv2^ --auto_lr_find True --lambda=1.0 --max_epochs=240 --seed %random%%random% --default_root_dir exp/run_109 --resume-from-model ./pt/nn-d8609abe8caf.pt This run is thus started from Segio Vieri's net nn-d8609abe8caf.nnue all.binpack equaled 4 parts Wrong_NNUE_2.binpack https://drive.google.com/file/d/1seGNOqcVdvK_vPNq98j-zV3XPE5zWAeq/view?usp=sharing plus two parts of Training_Data.binpack https://drive.google.com/file/d/1RFkQES3DpsiJqsOtUshENtzPfFgUmEff/view?usp=sharing Each set was concatenated together - making one large Wrong_NNUE 2 binpack and one large Training so the were approximately equal in size. They were then interleaved together. The idea was to give Wrong_NNUE.binpack closer to equal weighting with the Training_Data binpack model.py modifications: loss = torch.pow(torch.abs(p - q), 2.6).mean() LR = 8.0e-5 calculated as follows: 1.5e-3*(.992^360) - the idea here was to take a highly trained net and just use all.binpack as a finishing micro refinement touch for the last 2 Elo or so. This net was discovered on the 59th epoch. optimizer = ranger.Ranger(train_params, betas=(.90, 0.999), eps=1.0e-7, gc_loc=False, use_gc=False) scheduler = torch.optim.lr_scheduler.StepLR(optimizer, step_size=1, gamma=0.992) For this micro optimization, I had set the period to "5" in train.py. This changes the checkpoint output so that every 5th checkpoint file is created The final touches were to adjust the NNUE scale, as was done by Jonathan in tests running at the same time. passed LTC https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60fa45aed8a6b65b2f3a77a4 LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <0.50,3.50> Total: 53040 W: 1732 L: 1575 D: 49733 Elo +1.03 Ptnml(0-2): 14, 1432, 23474, 1583, 17 passed STC https://tests.stockfishchess.org/tests/view/60f9fee2d8a6b65b2f3a7775 LLR: 2.94 (-2.94,2.94) <-0.50,2.50> Total: 37928 W: 3178 L: 3001 D: 31749 Elo +1.62 Ptnml(0-2): 100, 2446, 13695, 2623, 100. closes https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish/pull/3626 Bench: 5169957 see source |

Date: Fri Jul 2 14:53:30 2021 +0200 Timestamp: 1625230410 Stockfish 14 Official release version of Stockfish 14 Bench: 4770936 --- Today, we have the pleasure to announce Stockfish 14. As usual, downloads will be freely available at https://stockfishchess.org The engine is now significantly stronger than just a few months ago, and wins four times more game pairs than it loses against the previous release version [0]. Stockfish 14 is now at least 400 Elo ahead of Stockfish 7, a top engine in 2016 [1]. During the last five years, Stockfish has thus gained about 80 Elo per year. Stockfish 14 evaluates positions more accurately than Stockfish 13 as a result of two major steps forward in defining and training the efficiently updatable neural network (NNUE) that provides the evaluation for positions. First, the collaboration with the Leela Chess Zero team - announced previously [2] - has come to fruition. The LCZero team has provided a collection of billions of positions evaluated by Leela that we have combined with billions of positions evaluated by Stockfish to train the NNUE net that powers Stockfish 14. The fact that we could use and combine these datasets freely was essential for the progress made and demonstrates the power of open source and open data [3]. Second, the architecture of the NNUE network was significantly updated: the new network is not only larger, but more importantly, it deals better with large material imbalances and can specialize for multiple phases of the game [4]. A new project, kick-started by Gary Linscott and Tomasz Sobczyk, led to a GPU accelerated net trainer written in pytorch.[5] This tool allows for training high-quality nets in a couple of hours. Finally, this release features some search refinements, minor bug fixes and additional improvements. For example, Stockfish is now about 90 Elo stronger for chess960 (Fischer random chess) at short time control. The Stockfish project builds on a thriving community of enthusiasts (thanks everybody!) that contribute their expertise, time, and resources to build a free and open-source chess engine that is robust, widely available, and very strong. We invite our chess fans to join the fishtest testing framework and programmers to contribute to the project on github [6]. Stay safe and enjoy chess!
