Hash TablesHashtable settings are available in the Options menu, Settings window. Hash tables are areas of RAM Der Bringer sets aside to store analyzed positions and other calculations it makes as it analyzes. As the same position may be reached with more than one line, when Der Bringer finds a previously analyzed position in a hash table, it does not recalculate that position, which saves quite a bit of time. You can specify the size of the hash tables. The default values are shown in the figure below. If you make the hash tables too large, Der Bringer will have to use the hard-disk swapfile area, which actually slows down operation. Use the Help/About menu to see how much memory you have available; it may be less than you think! |
