| - | Myrddin 0.91 supports SMP via processes (up to 16 instances) and is about 300-350 ELO stronger than v0.90 at 1 CPU and a further 80 ELO stronger at 4 CPUs. This version has not been formally tested above 4 CPUs so it is unknown how well it will scale above 4 CPUs. | + | Myrddin 0.93 supports SMP via processes (up to 32 instances) and is about 50 ELO stronger than v0.92 at 1 CPU.

| + | -- Now using IIR instead of IID\\ | ||
| + | -- Minor adjustments to LMR conditions\\ | ||
| + | -- Now supporting the xboard "memory" command (requested by Martin Sedlak)\\ | ||
| + | -- Increased the maximum number of SMP processes to 32 (requested by Lars Hallerstrom)\\ | ||
| + | -- Fixed a bug in pondering introduced in v0.90. Myrddin would restart thinking at depth 1 even if the expected ponder move was made by the opponent.\\ | ||
| + | -- Fixed a rare bug that could cause Myrddin to crash when using logfiles\\ | ||
| + | -- Found a bug that caused the Eval hash size to be 2MB instead of 32MB.\\ | ||
| + | -- Default Transposition hash size is now 256MB\\ | ||
| + | |||
| + | == Version 0.92 (12/7/24) == | ||
| + | -- Now doing incremental updates to the NN accumulator during make/unmake move\\ | ||
| + | -- Now compiling with clang (within MSVC IDE)\\ | ||
| + | -- Restored David Carteau's recommended eval multiplier - scores will be about 2x higher than before\\ | ||
| + | -- Now clearing Killer move scores with every depth\\ | ||
| + | -- Fixed potential instability/crash due to the move stack possibly becoming greater than MAX_DEPTH\\ | ||
| + | -- Minor optimizations to PVS implementation and cutoff ordering\\ | ||
