I personally would love to see more experimental results and less feelings and intuitions on this list.

I think I started at 64 play-outs, and kept doubling the number of play-outs to some large number where it took an hour to play a single game. I don't currently have the data, but I am willing to reproduce the experiment. Other MC guys can verify it. I'll set it up on a slow computer I have free and I'll start at 64 simulations on a 19x19 board. I'll play 200 games in pairs, 64 vs 128, 128 vs 256, etc. - Don > > Part of my procrastination [ about using 72 processors ] is that > > I'm not sure how to make UCT scale to a large number of CPU's. > > I am an expert in scaling alpha/beta to a large numbers of > > processors (I did this with Socrates on 1836 processors a few > > years ago) but it's different with UCT which is inherently serial. > > > I surely appreciate the difficulties in adapting algorithms to > multiple processors - I may be rusty, but some years ago I > worked on Neuralware and multiple transputers, 860s, and > so forth.
