When I saw that result, I immediately concluded that the engine locked into specific lines of play prematurely. I can imagine a few exceptional cases, but I don't think root parallelism should ever outperform a single thread doing the equivalent number of simulations. _______________________________________________ Computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://dvandva.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/computer-go
