This beast goes online in 2011. Better start lobbying now for some Mogo
time.
By coincidence I was looking at the Top 500 list yesterday and the top
machine already does petaflop (peak) performance [1]. I wonder how many
playouts/second Mogo would do on that :-).
If you're looking for spare processors, how about a "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
program for Go?-)
Local versions of the top programs could offer to connect to their
main incarnation's games, explaining internal state ("it is sure it will
win", "it thinks that group is dead", ..) in exchange for borrowing
processing resources. Or, instead of doing this on a per-program
basis, there could be a standard protocol for donating processing
power from machines whose users view a game online.
That way, the more kibitzes a game attracts, the better the computer
player plays; and if the game cannot hold an audience, the computer
player might start to seem distracted, losing all those borrowed
processors;-)
Mogo might even find some related research at INRIA ([EMAIL PROTECTED]
style (desktop) grid computing, ..), so perhaps there's scope for
collaboration there?

Q: why do you search for extra-terrestrial intelligence?
A: we've exhausted the local search space.
