analysis mode seems to use too little memory • page 1/1 • Lichess Feedback • lichess.org

So when I have Lichess computer analysis running, it lets me select how much ram to use, but the slider maxes out at 32meg which is really tiny when trying to do a deep analysis with lots of CPUs. And less than 1/1000th of my computer's memory so it's a rather unreasonable limit as far as I can tell. Could this be boosted a lot?

Are you by chance using Firefox? I think Chrome allows for 1GB but Firefox only has support for 32MB, although it could be possible to increase this. I found this previous forum thread which might be a good place to start: https://lichess.org/forum/off-topic-discussion/is-there-a-way-to-increase-stockfishs-memory-limit-past-32-mb-on-firefox

If you want to run the newest version of stockfish and control all the parameters the easiest thing to do is to download it from https://stockfishchess.org/

I use 8gb of memory when I run it locally.

The issue is that Firefox doesn't actually tell websites how much memory your device supports so Lichess has to guess and uses a conservative low value.

Chrome and the browsers based on it support the navigator.deviceMemory API which allows Lichess to at least roughly find out how much memory is actually available.
