I remember seeing this in the archive before but I forget the
actual results of the experiment. Does processing simulations in
groups of say 5-10 have any impact on the strength of the program?
Thanks in advance,
Carter.
Yes, at some point at least batch processing of simulations will be
inefficient.
Every time you walk through the tree, the algorithm prefers to go
the best path possible to gain more information. With each extra
simulation in a batch there will be less and less useful
information. Maybe there is a tradeoff and you can get away with
small batches and gain something else. You have to test and see what
happens.
I expect batching to help when multithreading
