KaTrain Command Line Partial Syntax

RobertJasiek · #1

Through trial and error, I have partially reverse-engineered the syntax of KaTrain's General & Engine Settings Override command line.

KaTrain for Windows and KataGo OpenCL General Remarks

analysis_config.cfg must exist with this or a different file name.

Otherwise, copy <path>\analysis_example.cfg to <path>\analysis_config.cfg

Tuning will be different from tuning KataGo for a gtp GUI and gtp_custom.cfg

After writing the KaTrain Override command line, press Update Settings.
Then, in particular, one of the following can happen:
- KataGo engine is ready. Playing is possible with GPU load 96~97%.
- KaTrain freezes. Kill its process. Restart KaTrain.
- KaTrain neither freezes nor applies the settings yet. Close KaTrain. Restart KaTrain.

Some names of model files look like <model_name>.gz instead of <model_name>.bin.gz

Presumably, an optional parameter is: -override-config homeDataDir=C:\Users\<username>/.katrain

KaTrain for KataGo OpenCL, Override Command Line

Syntax

Code:

<path>\<katago_file_name>.exe analysis -model <path>\<model_name>.bin.gz -config <path>\<analysis_file_name>.cfg

Example

Code:

C:\katago\katago.exe analysis -model C:\katago\b18.bin.gz -config C:\katago\analysis_config.cfg

KaTrain for KataGo OpenCL, Override Command Line, Paths or File Names with or without Blank(s)

Syntax

Code:

"<path>\<katago_file_name>.exe" analysis -model "<path>\<model_name>.bin.gz" -config "<path>\<analysis_file_name>.cfg"

Examples

Code:

"C:\katago\katago.exe" analysis -model "C:\katago\b18.bin.gz" -config "C:\katago\analysis_config.cfg"

"C:\kata go\katago.exe" analysis -model "C:\kata go\b18.bin.gz" -config "C:\kata go\analysis_config.cfg"

"C:\katago\kata go.exe" analysis -model "C:\katago\b 18.bin.gz" -config "C:\katago\analysis config.cfg"

"C:\kata go\kata go.exe" analysis -model "C:\kata go\b 18.bin.gz" -config "C:\kata go\analysis config.cfg"

KaTrain for KataGo OpenCL, Override Command Line with -analysis-threads Parameter

analysis_config.cfg may not contain numAnalysisThreads or its comment line starts with # .

Syntax

Code:

<path>\<katago_file_name>.exe analysis -model <path>\<model_name>.bin.gz -config <path>\<analysis_file_name>.cfg -analysis-threads <positive_integer>

Example

Code:

C:\katago\katago.exe analysis -model C:\katago\b18.bin.gz -config C:\katago\analysis_config.cfg -analysis-threads 2

I have also applied the first syntax rule to CUDA.

Furthermore, the first syntax is tested for TensorRT.
