CSTENTORandJoost VandeVondele 57b32f3e60 Make Resetting the Aspiration Window after FailLow more aggressive
Sets beta=(3alpha+beta)/4 when failLow. Before it was beta=(alpha+beta)/2, even
though in theory we should be getting an upper bound from a failLow, we can’t
trust the score that caused the failLow. Therefore beta=alpha doesn’t work. I
made the buffer between the new beta to the bestValue that caused the failLow
smaller.

StyxandJoost VandeVondele ab83d320b8 Simplify NMP condition
As this is tried only for cutNode, and all children of cutNodes will be nonCutNodes, the guard condition is redundant.
Simplification just removes the unnecessary condition (always true).

Refactor movegen to emit to a vector with 16-bit elements, which enables a
speedup with AVX512-VBMI2 when writing moves to the move list.

Very crude timing measurements of perft via timing ./stockfish "go perft 7"
demonstrates approximately 17% perft speedup:

Summary
  ./Stockfish-dev/src/stockfish 'go perft 7' ran
    1.17 ± 0.04 times faster than ./Stockfish-base/src/stockfish 'go perft 7'

Estimated overall nps increase of 0.4% via speedtest: 33605229 -> 33749825
(many thanks JonathanHallstrom).

The corresponding arch is avx512icl as it is a good baseline for consumer
avx-512 feature set support; Intel Ice Lake was the first consumer AVX-512 CPU
and it is a decent subset of what AMD Zen 4 supports.

That allows 'make -j profile-build' work on ppc64 architectures, setting the use of
the appropriate SIMD extension, Altivec or VSX.
For VSX, gcc allows to map SSE2 intrinsics and get benefit of the existing SIMD code.

On PowerMac G5, using altivec provides a performance improvement of 30%.
On Talos 2, using vsx provides a performance improvement of 120%.

rn5f107s2andDisservin e860f620aa Reduce futility_margin further when improving
The idea of this is to unroll the futility_margin calculation to allow
for the improving flag to have a greater effect on the futility margin.
The current factor is 1.5 instead of the previous 1 resulting in a
deduction of an extra margin/2 from futilit_margin if improving. The
chosen value was not tuned, meaning that there is room for tweaking it.
This patch is partially inspired by @Vizvezdenec, who, although quite
different in execution, tested another idea where the futility_margin is
lowered further when improving [1].

is already supported by GCC, more optimizations are being developed.

optimizations.

Daniel MonroeandJoost VandeVondele ef94f77f8c Update default net to nn-a3d1bfca1672.nnue
faster permutation of master net weights

Activation data taken from https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Ec9YuuRx4N03GPnVPoQOW70eucOKngQe?usp=sharing
Permutation found using https://github.com/Ergodice/nnue-pytorch/blob/836387a0e5e690431d404158c46648710f13904d/ftperm.py
See also https://github.com/glinscott/nnue-pytorch/pull/254

The algorithm greedily selects 2- and 3-cycles that can be permuted to increase the number of runs of zeroes. The percent of zero runs from the master net increased from 68.46 to 70.11 from 2-cycles and only increased to 70.32 when considering 3-cycles. Interestingly, allowing both halves of L1 to intermix when creating zero runs can give another 0.5% zero-run density increase with this method.

Measured speedup:

```
