If you are interested in having your timetrial benchmark posted here, you must first download the checkers_db6_builder.zip file, decompress it, and run it. NOTE: It will write approximately 842 MB of data to your hard drive (the "endgame databases" which can be used by a checkers playing program). It will also create a "report.txt" file which you must send it. You might want to place the program in a separate folder before beginning, otherwise it will write many files all over your desktop, or wherever you downloaded it.

When the program has finished running, upload your benchmark data by clicking here and filling out the form. You will have to locate your report.txt file that was saved to your hard disk in the same directory from where the program was run.

Only verifiable results will be published to this page.

NOTE: The "Ratio" column denotes the speed relative to a 3.4 GHz Gulftown, the Intel i7-980X. This is a very fast stock architecture, and it equates to a 1.000 in this column. Larger numbers are better. The benchmarking application runs on a single core, without parallelism, so these scores are essentially rating the speed of each individual processing core.
