 | | BishopBerkeley: Jonny (Computer) tied with Shredder (Computer) for first place in the FischerRandom or Chess960 competition at the World Computer Chess Championship 2005: http://www.ru.is/wccc05/
http://www.ru.is/wccc05/default.asp... Only five of the twelve Chess engines competed in the Chess960 event. Even so, it's a nice prize to have! (: ♗ Bishop Berkeley ♗ :)

| Jun-07-06 | | Whitehat1963: Who's Johnny Lyrics
Artist: El Debarge
Album: Short Circuit Soundtrack
There she goes and knows I'm dying when she says "Who is Johnny?"
Games with names that girl is playing, all she says is "Who is Johnny?"
I tried to understand because I'm people too
And playing games is part of human nature
My heart's in overdrive, it's great to be alive
"Who's Johnny?" she said and smiled in her special way
"Johnny," she said, "you know I love you"
"Who's Johnny" she said and tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
Alright, oh yeah
She makes sure I see her teasing, hear her say "Who is Johnny?"
There's no way today is easy, hear her say "Who is Johnny?"
I really couldn't help but fall in love with her
Her being there has made my life worth living
I knew it from the start, that I would lose my heart
"Who's Johnny?" She said and smiled in her special way
"Johnny," she said, "you know I love you"
"Who's Johnny" she said and tried to look the other way
still pretending
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
Wow-oooh, oh no
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
Oh no-no-no-no, i don't believe it
"Who's Johnny?" she said and tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
(Girls like her) Are very special girls
(Girls like her) Don't rest
'Till'Till you too are a believer
'Till you too have caught their fever
Who-who-who-..
"Who is Johnny?"
There she goes and knows I'm dying when she says
"Who is-who-who is" "Who's Johnny?" She said and smiled in her special way
"Johnny," she says, "you know I love you"
"Who's Johnny" she says and tried to look the other way
Her eyes gave her away
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
That girl's pretending she can't remember my name
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
Oh, i can't believe it
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
I know this girl is only teasing
"Who's Johnny?"
she said, She walked at me with someone else
And left me standing there, ooo-oooh
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
It isn't love...
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
"Who's Johnny?"
Johnny come with me
"Who's Johnny?"

| Jun-07-06 | | Whitehat1963: What a HORRIBLE "song"! |
|
| Jun-07-06 | | THE pawn: -The shining:
« Heeeeerrreee's Johnny!» |

| Jul-22-09 | | Dredge Rivers: Jonny be mediocre! :) |
|
| Jul-02-15 | | truefriends: Jonny leads the WCCC 2015 after 7/9 rounds .5 points ahead of Komodo. The last 2 rounds will be played today, July 3th. |

 | | tamar: Could Jonny be cheating?!! |
|
Jul-02-15
 | | AylerKupp: Given that Jonny is running on a system with 2,400 cores and that the engine with the next higher number of cores (Komodo) is running on a system with "only" 24 cores my biggest surprise is that Jonny has not won all its games and is only 1/2 point ahead of the field. |
|
Jul-02-15
| | AylerKupp: Maybe I'm not surprised. The WCCC run by the ICGA stopped being meaningful some years ago. |
|

| | tamar: Thanks for the explanation Ayler Kupp. I read earlier that Jonny was running on 2400 cores, but assumed it was a misprint. |

| Jul-03-15 | | mrandersson: A high‐performance computer at the University of Bayreuth, Germany, has been inaugurated during an elaborate ceremony. The Bavarian state minister of science, research and art, Wolfgang Heubisch, and the Lord Mayor of the City of Bayreuth, Brigitte Merk‐Erbe, officially activated the system, named 'btrzx3', for its users. Offering a performance of 97.6 teraflops, the HPC cluster is currently numbered among the world's highest-performance computers. It was developed and installed by the German manufacturer Megware. Following on from 2005 and 2009, the Bavarian centre of higher education once again commissioned the supercomputer specialist Megware with the intention of delivering cutting‐edge, high‐performance technology. The high‐performance computer, btrzx3, consists of a total of 12 server racks. It integrates 416 nodes, each consisting of two AMD Opteron 6348 2.8 GHz processors, and four four‐way servers. The computer nodes have 64GB or 128GB of RAM and are connected via a fast QDR InfiniBand network.With that kind of set up no real shock it did not lose a game. |

| Jul-04-15 | | Severin: So what does that mean, exactly? Jonny was running on a system that was 1000 times more powerful than anyone else's? So it won on hardware, not software? |
|
| Jul-05-15 | | Tomlinsky: It means that entrants may run their software on pretty much any hardware available, making the relative value of results completely worthless if the objective is to ascertain program strength. |
|
| Jul-06-15 | | mrandersson: There is a software part when each engine has the same model pc/laptop so its more fair in that way. Shredder won that part of it think they were all on a i7 cpu not sure what model number but an i7 is quite standard. What would be good would to run on a low cpu like a pentium 3 no sse2 sse4 all that jazz basic dino stuff. |

| | AylerKupp: <<Severin> So it won on hardware, not software?> I would go as far to say that it won in spite of software. This is one of my favorite computer vs. computer games played a few years ago, Jonny vs Rybka, 2010, when Jonny (hosted on a system with 800 cores) was demolished by Rybka (hosted on a system with "only" 260 cores). And make sure that you watch what I think is one of <Kingcrusher>'s best videos, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPF.... |

| | AylerKupp: <<mrandersson> they were all on a i7 cpu not sure what model number but an i7 is quite standard.> Actually, the i7 is anything but standard. First released in 2008, he following site, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_..., lists 166 models (5 generations) for desktop and mobile applications, in standard, low, and ultra-low power versions and ranging from 2 to 8 cores, 500 MHz to 4 GHz clocks, 0.5 MB to 1.5 MB L2 cache sizes, 6 MB to 12 MB L3 cache sizes, and different instructions sets. So, needless to say, their performance varies considerably across the board and it's important to know the version if trying to compare chess engine (or any other software) performance. But why do you think that it would be good to run the engines on a low-performance CPU? As long as the systems that the engines are running on have similar performance then you can make reasonable comparisons between the capabilities of the different engines. It doesn't really matter what the absolute performance of the computer system is. |

|
| Jul-11-15 | | SatelliteDan: Afraid of Apple |

| Jul-12-15 | | mrandersson: People still hate vista but tbh if you had a nice pc/laptop it was not all that bad really. |
