[computer-go] kgs-game_over support for the cgos client
Hej everybody, attached is a patch to the current cgosGtp.tcl client. It adds support for the kgs-game_over command, i.e. if the engine supports it this command will be sent when the client receives the gameover command from the server. Maybe this is useful for others, too. For me it is important as my engine is pondering and if the other engine resigns a game it continues to ponder until the next game is started.

Re: [computer-go] Re: mogo beats pro!
One might consider heuristics like AMAF, pattern knowledge, etc. to be simply a more effective way to guide exploration. The UCB term has no domain-specific knowledge. It works surprisingly well but it should be no surprise that one can do better with domain-specific knowledge. The problem of knowledge like AMAF or patterns is that it is a static heuristic. They are fine when you have no more information (from the search). I find that it works best to quickly scale them out as soon as search (or simulation) information is available. So, I think I disagree here. UCB has no domain-specific knowledge, but it is able to use search results. On the other hand, Sylvain Gelly posted Mogo's current system here, and it seems they always use AMAF information to control exploration. I couldn't get this to work. Maybe that's my problem :-) -- GCP ___ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/

I can either post this on CGOS or just incorporate it into the current client if it looks solid. - Don On Thu, 2008-08-14 at 10:14 +0200, Urban Hafner wrote: Hej everybody, attached is a patch to the current cgosGtp.tcl client.

http://www.hpcwire.com/offthewire/Dutch_Supercomputer_Beats_Human_at_Go.html System Huygens, an IBM Power 575 Hydro-Cluster system, is the new Dutch national supercomputer. The system has a peak speed of 60 trillion calculations per second (Teraflop/s), 3328 Power6 processor cores at 4.7 GHz, a total memory capacity of more than 15 TB, and almost 1000 TB disk capacity. [ a quarter of the processors were used in this demonstration. ] The complete system has been in production since Aug. 1 of this year. With the dedicated help of the SARA staff, the Go application could run on the new system within a very short time. Financers The research in this project has been financed through the GoForGo project by the Physical Sciences council of the Netherlands Organisation for Scientific Research (NWO), while the CPU hours of Huygens were granted by the Netherlands National Computing Facilities Foundation (NCF).
