Mobile phones have very limited memory.  On the iPhone I only have about 20
MB.  This is a big limitation for UCT programs.

I am not a hardware expert, so I do not know.
I took the data from the SSDF list at
http://ssdf.bosjo.net/list.htm     There we have
1 Deep Rybka 3 x64 2GB Q6600 2,4 GHz    3213    +25     -23 ...
..
35 Pocket Fritz 3 Hiarcs Ipaq 214 624 MHz       2722    +53     -51...

I'm not trying to refute you or claim you did anything wrong.       I'm just
suggesting a refinement to get a more accurate estimate of how much we can
expect to lose going to the mobile phone platform.  My refinement is more
appropriate for what to expect when porting a GO program to the mobile
platform.      

 

Trying to extrapolate what I know from your data and the "rybka adjustment",
you get this:  As a general rule of thumb,  if you port your go program to a
mobile platform you will get the same performance that you would get if you
played on the PC at a time control 6 or 7 times faster.      So for example
if you set your program to play a game in 3 minutes on the Q6600 platform
and other programs are playing 20 minute games, you should come relatively
close to what you can expect on the mobile platform.

I think, this Hiarcs version was especially tuned for "limited" hardware.

 

They probably took the program that was easiest and most sensible to port.
I believe Hiarcs is  32 bit program which will port to mobile phone hardware
with the least amount of ELO loss.   A 64 bit program would take an
additional hit in performance being ported to 32 bit hardware.

PS: The reason to mention go programs for mobiles was that Valkyria's
graphic seems ideally suited for small screens.
