These are the files for the similarity test of the ICT13.

This archive contains a Windows executable as well as the C++ source code for the program to produce the engine fingerprint for UCI and Winboard engines. Instructions on how to use the program are included as well.

The executable requires Windows Vista or newer to run, but it should be possible to compile the source code also for older windows versions.

The pre-conditions are:

1. Python 2 is installed. To check, type in a Terminal window "python --version" and see for example "Python 2.6.7" appear. (The program is not tested for Python 3).
2. The engine speaks the UCI protocol, specifically it must understand the "go infinite" command.
3. The script is tested on Linux and on MacOSX
4. The script is made executable (chmod 755 run-simtest-uci). Alternatively start the program with "python run-simtest-uci ..."

The usage is a follows:

Usage:
        ./run-simtest-uci  [  [  ] ]

        engine          binary of UCI engine
        cpus            number of parallel engines to start (all single-threaded)
        movetime        in seconds (float)

        For example:
        ./run-simtest-uci Shredder12Mac 4 1  simcsvn1.shredder12.epd

The attached Python program "run-simtest-wb" can be used the run the CSVN similarity test on one or more cores.

The pre-conditions are:

1. Python 2 is installed. To check, type in a Terminal window "python --version" and see for example "Python 2.6.7" appear. (The program is not tested for Python 3).
2. The engine speaks the Winboard protocol version 2, specifically it must understand the "setboard" command.
3. The script is tested on MacOSX using Crafty 23.4
4. The engine should not use an internal book
5. The script is made executable (chmod 755 run-simtest-uci). Alternatively start the program with "python run-simtest-wb ..."

The usage is a follows:

Usage:
        ./run-simtest-wb  [  [  ] ]

        engine          binary of Winboard engine
        cpus            number of parallel engines to start (all single-threaded)
        movetime        in seconds (float)

        For example:
        ./run-simtest-wb crafty 4 1  simcsvn1.crafty.epd
