I don't need to see a 19x19 server to tell me it's going to be too
slow. But the question is how slow. So I think David Doshay had the
right suggestion to try incrementally larger board-sizes. But there
are a few limitations. One is that the increments still go in two's,
as the board needs to be uneven in size. And you need humans willing
to play the computers.
Personally I'd suggest 13x13. That used to be a common size for
beginners when I started to play. If you can make a MC cluster that
can play reasonably well on 13x13 then maybe there's hope for 19x19.
Does anybody have any idea where the multi-core CPU designs are
taking us the next few decades? The SPS already has 7. Are we going
to see 10,000 CPU computers?
