Apparently I won by time it appears lol? Not sure why gpu usage was only 20% with 4 threads but its going up to 55% now. Maybe pondering for a long time causes gpu usage to drop over time?
What's your LZ command line? From the logs I can see it is definitely pondering. What is your bot's CGOS name?
23:04:42 C->E genmove w
23:04:51 E->C = R3
23:04:51 C->S R3
The CGOS client asked for LZ to genmove w
and LZ sent R3, and the client sent that move to the server. Then nothing happened. It looks like you actually won the game and it's the opponent who timed out. In your engine log the R3 move doesn't appear, it might just be a disk buffering issue.
If it sat there pondering while the game was actually already over it probably hit the node limit and then... Well it depends on exactly what LZ version you have what happens then.
Edit: I also tried running a full thinking time bot as LZ-1a198f-t2-nolim, but it caused my computer to lockup and lose on time. Like my computer was totally dead and I had to cold power it.
From my home machine playing on CGOS is essentially impossible because I time out all the time. From the LZ webserver it's rock solid (but obviously that can't run full strength bots). I never understood why the difference is so big, it's not like my connection to other sites drops.
tl;dr timeouts on CGOS are a thing and a reason I don't like it for measuring strength.
@killerducky it does have a win on time and no losses, and is doing well enough that it must be getting enough gpu time. see http://www.yss-aya.com/cgos/19x19/cross/LZ-fc2b-1080ti-t4.html
@jjoshua2 looks like you have the strongest LZ bot on CGOS. I'm thinking about creating a way to share information like command line, hardware, etc for various bots. Would you be interested? Choices would be: shared Google doc, senseis' library page, or... other ideas?
I like Google docs. But I put all the information in the title. It's just standard lz12 with a 1080ti with 4 threads on that latest net.
just lost Zen-11.4n-1c due to a bad ladder after beating top Zen-15.7-2c1g
You might consider compiling from the next branch for your next CGOS bot. There have been a few recent commits that add more speed/strength. I'd like to see a bot on CGOS with best hardware, best code, best network.
Also there was a UCTNode refactor
I'm on windows and I don't have a build setup. If an exe was posted I would update whenever I update nets.
Can I just grab the latest exe from https://ci.appveyor.com/project/gcp/leela-zero and that will be it? I see next on there with a recent exe... Edit, i don't actually see any exe in the artificats like there is for leela-chess
Looks like #938 already addresses this, but its not an easy fix so there's no exe now...
@jjoshua2 looks it did time out in a later game after only a few moves.
@killerducky see #994. if this is fixed in next I can just switch to that because I installed visual studio, but I don't want to run buggy code.
CGOS is timing out, but my lz12 is still using some cpu and gpu, but not much, I guess to ponder since it never got genmove? (ponder is not disabled) Not sure what is wrong. EDIT I won on time not lost I think end of cogs logs:
