games. I'm sorry that you weren't able to use the full
cluster on the 19x19 game, it would have been
interesting to see how much of an improvement would
result with such a network of computers.
I guess the games can be seen on KGS, user mogobot1, against teytaud
(don't look at games against other players than teytaud, these are just
tests);
the last game before 15h30 is a game against a french 5D,
the three next games are against Catalin (one won by Catalin, with a
standard machine instead of the cluster, one won by mogo, one won by
Catalin - white wins all games). The 5th game is a win of mogo against
2 players, playing together (not a rengo), one of them is professional,
the other is very strong also.
MoGo was running (except for the first 9x9 game and the 19x19 game
against Catalin)
on a cluster of 32 nodes with 8 cores per node, 3GHz -
there are people who have acces to much better clusters (I've recieved
an email from another reader of this mailing list, which makes me
very jealous :-) ), and also probably much more stable clusters without
troubles for the internet connections or the NFS system.
Also, really, self-play openings are great, so there
is room for improvement. But 19x19 is something else, perhaps we
can have the Dan, but I'm not sure of that in spite of the gentle words of
Catalin, and I'm sure the current
mogo can't win against a professionnal player in 19x19 whenever we
have the best cluster in the world, and whenever the professionnal player
is both ill and a bit drunk :-)
Best regards,
Olivier
