Well MC-UCT programs (Mogo, CrazyStone and many others) need more CPU. Doubling the CPU gives a constant raise in playing level. There are even some threads about the issue. But becoming -say - 6 stones stronger I guess they would need more then 2^6 times more CPU. Also there could be a corner point for current algorithms- so maybe they need new playout algorithms in future?
Traditional programs may not even gain on CPU alone (GnuGo, ManyFaces of Go, GO++). Depends on actual implementation. But for example GnuGo would hardly be any stronger with more CPU. So it would need new algorithms and more "expert" rules. 2008/7/28 Darren Cook <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: > My question isn't about how strong programs are now, or what is the > definition of a dan, or what you think will happen in the future.
