20x is not really correct ( unless I've misunderstood something ). The games are on average 4x longer for my rudimentary UCT-MC program on 19x19 boards ( about 450 moves, standard eye-rule only ). However, simulations per/sec is only down 5x. So, in order to get the same number of simulations per position you only need 5x the time. I suspect most MC-programs will scale like this.
However, since the actual program vs. program games will be longer ( perhaps around 400 moves? ) the time spent on each game would be about 20x longer. //Christian On 12/12/06, David Fotland <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
If the simulated games are about 5x longer, and the board is over 4x bigger, then we would need over 20x the time to get the same number of simulations per position evaluated by UCT. I suspect the larger board will need may more simulations to get a reliable score. How about 20 minutes per side? There will still be a reliable rating in a day or so.
