Apple M1 build?

[JSCjr]

Are there plans for a pre-compiled binary for the Apple M1 architecture anytime soon? I could have a go at building it for myself, but I'm not a Rust user so there's a fair bit of overhead involved.

Yes, if you can test on the actual hardware that would be a great way to make progress on this.

The first step would be checking if the Stockfish build works. The build artifact on https://github.com/niklasf/Stockfish/actions/runs/400799007 includes stockfish-macos-aarch64. Could you please check if that's working? (Download https://tests.stockfishchess.org/api/nn/nn-62ef826d1a6d.nnue next to it, then something like chmod +x stockfish-macos-aarch64 && ./stockfish-macos-aarch64 bench).

Seems to run just fine - stdout attached.

Thanks for testing. Attachments sent by email are not uploaded to GitHub, but if you say it didn't crash it should really be fine. I'll prepare a fishnet build with the new Stockfish binary included.

Alright ... on to the full client. The latest development snapshot (https://github.com/niklasf/fishnet/actions/runs/447564809 https://github.com/niklasf/fishnet/actions/runs/447592719) now includes fishnet-aarch64-apple-darwin. Does it work for you, @JSCjr?

[niklasf]

Oops, fixed a copy & paste mistake: https://github.com/niklasf/fishnet/actions/runs/447592719

Looks like it's working! Rough eyeball estimate from the summary output is that it's about twice as fast as the x86 client.

[niklasf]

Yay! Published as v2.2.0.

[JSCjr]

Excellent - thanks for the quick turnaround.
