I can't make Many Faces stronger using a cluster. I haven't run out of things to try, but so far everything I do makes it weaker.
Mogo seems to be the only program claiming a large gain from a big cluster, but the big cluster played in Kanazawa and didn't do very well.

A while back, somebody experimented with building a very large opening book in SSDs, I think it was for 7x7 or 9x9 boards. I don't recall how big the SSDs were, or how useful the results were. Some interesting things seem to be in the development pipeline for much faster SSD (flash) and RAM technologies. Is anybody still doing work with large clusters? It has been a while since I heard about Mogo on big clusters. Now, it appears to be more like a dozen or two CPUs, which is more accessible to the "average enthusiast," as opposed to the "big lab" - but doubling and quadrupling the number of CPU cores now seems to be more likely than doubling CPU clock speed.
