[computer-go] scalability analysis with pachi

2010-01-14 Thread Jean-loup Gailly
I did some 19x19 scalability experiments with pachi, written by Petr Baudis. This was run on one machine using 15 out of 16 2.2 GHz cores, against Fuego using 100K playouts on 15 cores of another machine. The results are encouraging. Pachi's strength continues scaling linearly (in elo) with each d
