Hi I just want to show you how i could improve my silverfish performance: I noticed that the Processpriority of silverfish is set to background by default. When i changed it to realtime, my CPU Utilisation vent streight to a high level evry time silverfsih is calculating.

1) You Have to get procexp (you can do it in the task manager but i prefer doing it with procexp) Download Procexp from Microsoft

2) you have to start Hearthranger and silverfish.

3) Start procexp.exe as admin by reighklicking it and hit : run as Administrator

4) look for silvefsih.exe (If you started it by hearthranger it should be right below it)

5) right click it and Set priority to realtime

6) Done

PS: I noticed that my PC freezes when silverfsih does calculations because it uses all CPU power I assume. As soon as its done calculationg it "defreezes" and continues normally.

My specs: 12x3.46 GHz with Hyperthreading so 24 Threads 128GB Ram ( don't ask Server Hardware it is)

I could probabbly add Screenshots of the usage graph if there is a need :)

CPU USAGE GRAPH BEVORE

CPU USAGE GRAPH AFTER

(It's not the same turn that had been calculated, but as you can se the CPU Usage bevore is kind of low at teh starts and continues to rais as longer as its calculating. With the change it always goes straight up to the max)

You struggle with 24 threads and 128 gb?

I'm running it on Celeron 3.2ghz with 2 cores, and it seems fine.

Does rope sometime, haven't changed SF basic settings. How many calculations do you seem to do?

Is there a big performance difference by doing this?

My settings are:

enfacehp = 30;
maxwide = 13500;
twotsamount = 2700;
simEnemySecondTurn = true;
playarround = true;
playaroundprob = 50;
playaroundprob2 = 80;
enemyTurnMaxWide = 54;
enemyTurnMaxWideSecondTime = 540;
enemySecondTurnMaxWide = 54;
nextTurnDeep = 6;
nextTurnMaxWide = 54;
nextTurnTotalBoards = 540;
useSecretsPlayArround = true;
alpha = 50;
simulatePlacement = true;
useExternalProcess = true;
passiveWaiting = false;
behave = control;
concedeOnBadBoard = false;
speed = false;

For me it changed the CPU Usage drastically it flies trough the deep 6 len 6.
