Thanks for the nice comments. I am running on 24 cores (Dell PowerEdge R905 Rack Server, 4 x Six-Core AMD Opteron(tm) Processor 8439 SE, 2.8GHz). But it is only one machine. So my 24 cores are probably much more efficient than the 26 cores of Zen. > > Remi, can you tell us how much of the benefit was due to CLOP? It's an > excellent tool BTW. Thank you for sharing it. The big improvement I got recently came from tuning one parameter that I had forgotten to tune for a few years. I tuned it with CLOP, but I would have probably got the same result if I had tuned it manually (about +100 Elo in self play, both on 9x9 and 19x19). CLOP simply makes tuning a lot more convenient. I really enjoy using it very much. I am glad if people like it too. I also fixed a silly bug that was worth 30 Elo in self-play. Improving the KGS rank at 5d is very difficult. The current experimental version of Crazy Stone wins 78% against Crazy Stone 2011. That's less than one stone difference on KGS. But I am sure both Zen and Crazy Stone will reach 6d in 2012.
