- John Tromp's Fhourstones connect-4 solver results are included below.
-
- Fhourstones connect-4 solver benchmark is an implementation of the
- well-known game played on a vertical board of 7 columns by 6 rows, where
- 2 players take turns in dropping 'stones' in a column. The first player
- to get 4 stones in a horizontal, vertical, or diagonal row, wins the
- game. The game is drawn if there is no winner after 42 moves.
-
- This Fhourstones implementation (software) is copyright (c) 1992 by
- John Tromp (tromp@cwi.nl).
-
- Some technical notes:
- Of the full 49 bit lock that describes a connect-4 position, only 32 bits
- are stored in the hashtable entry while the remaining 17 are subsumed in
- the hash-address. To also accomodate 8 fold probing, a minimum of one
- million hash table entries are required. The benchmark uses just over
- 5 MBytes of memory. The potentially expensive modulo operations are
- implemented with repeated table look-up. The use of small integer sizes
- is available as an option ('-DSMALL' default). Although this benchmark
- emphasizes random access performance, it also exercises standard scalar
- performance; the recursive alpha-beta calls, incremental threat table
- computations, history table updates, and move-reordering represent a fair
- mix of scalar operations. Fhourstones is an 'integer' type benchmark.
-
- The Fhourstones program (c4.tar.Z.uue, c4.doc, and c4run.doc) and latest
- results (c4.tbl) can be obtained via anonymous ftp from 'marlin.nosc.mil'
- in directory 'pub/aburto'. The 'marlin' host (IP) number is: 128.49.16.4
-
- Please send new results (new machines, compilers, compiler options) to:
- aburto@marlin.nosc.mil. I will keep the results up-dated and post
- periodically to 'comp.benchmarks'. Any comments are greatly appreciated
- too.
