Re: [computer-go] speeding up testing of computer go programs

2007-11-26 Thread Don Dailey
Hi Jim, There is no black and white when it comes to right or wrong thinking. Each of us is guilty of it. You get an idea, try it out, test it thoroughly and find that it isn't useful. There is nothing wrong with this process itself - I view it as a device that trains your intuition. The

Many people have asked about the 9x9 CGOS game archive.I'll try to keep it up to date and it's partially automated at this point. It will probably always be a month behind since I archive by month. But I do have most of the Novembers games although it obviously isn't complete (since

I was afraid someone would discover that before I fixed it! The original one I posted is the one you should use - and it's fixed now. (I left the s off the end of cgosArchives) index.html might change in the future but for now your link will work too. - Don Rémi Coulom wrote: Don Dailey

Hi Don, You are quite welcome to the space, and I hope that this helps others out there. Is there any chance of also getting the older games into this archive? For folks trying to do data mining there is nothing quite like LOTS of data. It would also be great to get an archive of the 19x19

The mogo guys have to handle the 19x19 case but if they provide a link or a way to get the games to me, I will add it to the web page. I'll put the old cgos games online too. - Don David Doshay wrote: Hi Don, You are quite welcome to the space, and I hope that this helps others out there.

All the archives, from both 9x9 servers are downloadable now. Please note that I'm only putting the old archives in tar.bz2 format - not windows friendly but I know that some windows utilities can still read this. zip files do not compress very well but bzip2 does. Also note that you can

After reading the paper on solving go on small boards, I am curious about the use of euler numbers as a simple evaluation element. I implemented a little euler number test program and it works correctly from a sample of about 50 positions of various types. I'm using the fast version where you

2007-11-26 Thread William Shubert
I work for a smallish company that makes chips. FPGA is hugely cheaper than an ASIC for the quantities you are talking about. A shuttle, meaning small quantity of sample chips on a die shared with other companies, still costs tens of thousands of dollars. And I think that my company only gets on
