RE: [computer-go] Making Java much faster

2006-11-28 Thread Lucas, Simon M

 Both do just in time compilation,
 but the -server option uses more
 optimisation tricks.  Sometimes these
 make a significant difference, sometimes not.

 Without the JIT, it would be *very* much slower.

 Best regards,

Subject: [computer-go] Making Java much faster

Everyone here has offered me all kinds of useful advice on speeding up
or otherwise improving Orego. In thanks, I offer a recent (to me)
discovery about how to make Java programs run much faster. Instead of

java MyProgram

do

java -server MyProgram

It's not entirely clear what the difference between "server mode" and
the default "client mode" is -- maybe just-in-time compilation? In any
case, I found that it nearly doubled the speed of a small program.

Maybe you are right.   
But, a 19x19 game with 4 stones handicap is not so complicated I think.  
(usually 4 stones handicap worth about 50 points or more.)

Masters do not know how to play a optimal game, 
and maybe can't read so much and deep, 
but they know they will win. ☆☆(^^; 

(recently there are no difference between Pro 1d...9d, so we can say they are 
almost equal.)
