MPI installation
For this example, we will use Microsoft's MPI as our MPI software. You can download MPI from https://learn.microsoft.com/es-es/message-passing-interface/microsoft-mpi#ms-mpi-downloads
- You must verify that the mpi services are active
and that the path has been added to the environment variable.
- Download and install the GCC compiler for Windows from Mingw.
Adds the MPI and Mingw paths to the system PATH so that the system can find the necessary executables. This can be done in the advanced system settings in the Environment Variables section
- Step 1: Clone the Stockfish Repository
git clone -b cluster https://github.com/official-stockfish/Stockfish.git
cd Stockfish
Code: Select all
make profile-build ARCH=x86-64-sse3-popcnt COMP=gcc MPI=yessThe stockfish github specifies how to invoke the Stockfish executable using mpi. Unlike Texel which connects the hosth using the following command On all computers, start a command prompt and run: smpd -d 0 with stockfish: mpirun -np N /path/to/stockfish
I have tested the binary and the result of the bench is close to that carried out with 14.1, which version does exist available. The question and here I open the debate is how to invoke (although I have described it) in a clear way for users who do not have sufficient knowledge. In any case, I have been able to do the compilation successfully thanks to the fact that I have seen Ibai on site doing the compilations of the original engines from the rating list that I share with you. Also, in the folder is the source code and I hope and wish to open a debate on how to run, for example, on three servers connected in a network with mpi.
