Followup-For: Bug #425251
Package: crafty
This bug is not a bug but seems a misconfigutration.
This is easy to be reproduced:
./crafty
unable to open book file [./book.bin].
book is disabled
unable to open book file [./books.bin].
hash table memory = 12M bytes.
pawn hash table memory = 2M bytes.

0 piece tablebase files found
parallel threads disabled.
Crafty v20.14 (1 cpus)

With top I see 100% CPU Utiölisation
I also tried the crafty 22.10 and it works fine...

What exactly is the problem? The "parallel threads disabled"??? That's normal.
If you add "smpnice=0" that will go away. All it means as that when Crafty is
not "thinking" (ponder=off for example and it is the opponent's move) the
threads are disabled so that they don't burn CPU. They will work just fine
when it is actually searching
The program itself is not aware of the difference between cores and
processors, that's up to the O/S. Crafty will run fine on multi-core boxes
however, including 20.14... so long as you use the mt=2 or smpmt=2 (or
whatever N is correct for the number of procesors/cores you want to use...
With the 20.14 you should be able to get 100% cpu with no problems, _unless_
the 20.14 version you have was compiled without SMP support. You can open a
command prompt window, cd to the crafty directory and start crafty manually.
Then type mt=2 and see if it complains. If so, it means the executable you
have was not compiled with SMP support enabled...
