Re: [Computer-go] Using GPUs?
Not go related, but you may find this deep learning GPU hardware guide useful: https://timdettmers.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/deep-learning-hardware-guide/ As for hardware breakthroughs, Nvidia has announced that its next generation GPUs (codenamed Pascal) will offer 10x the performance in 2016, so you might want to wait a little more.

As for hardware breakthroughs, Nvidia has announced that its next generation GPUs (codenamed Pascal) will offer 10x the performance in 2016, so you might want to wait a little more. One of the comments, on the above blog, questions that 10x speed-up: https://timdettmers.wordpress.com/2015/03/09/deep-learning-hardware-guide/comment-page-1/#comment-336 Confirmed here: http://blogs.nvidia.com/blog/2015/03/17/pascal/ So, currently they use a 32-bit float, rather than a 64-bit double, but will reduce that to 16-bit to get a double speed-up. Assuming they've been listening to customers properly, that must mean 16-bit floats are good enough for neural nets?

Re: [Computer-go] Using GPUs?
It is not exactly Go, but i have a monte-carlo tree searcher on the GPU for the game of Hex 8x8 Here is a github link https://github.com/dshawul/GpuHex The engine looks to be just the middle 450 lines of code; quite compact! So running playouts on a GPU worked out well? Would doing the same thing for go be just a matter of writing more lines of code, or needing more memory on the GPU, or is there some more fundamental difference between hex and go that makes the latter less suitable? (e.g. in hex pieces are only added to the board, whereas in go they can be removed and loops can happen - does that make GPU-ing algorithms harder?)
