[computer-go] kgs-game_over support for the cgos client

2008-08-14 Thread Urban Hafner
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.

 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 :-)

I can either post this on CGOS or just incorporate it into the current
client if it looks solid.

It worked for me for the last few hours so I think it's solid.  But
maybe other people have tried it, too.

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).
