I can't figure out the reason for this stingy 1GB hash memory limit when using 64 cores. It pretty much negates advantage of 64 cores vs say 4/6 cores.
A nefarious suggestion would be that setting 1GB limit ensures that Alpha would always have the edge in depth as Stockfish would be forced to prune long lines to preserve hash memory.
Maybe someone who has read Stockfish source code can comment how Stockfish prunes hash memory.
