Those settings are established earlier, ie, when we had poor pcs. As David mentioned, we had much less cpu power and needed 30 minutes for best performance. When we use almost the same method the absolute value of time setting is not a problem. But now we have two different approaches, classical and MC, too long time setting gives some advantage to MC programs. From the view point of innovations, however, it's not to be said unfair. When comparing performaces of several implementations of different approaches, ie, MC and classical, one scales better for time and the other is not, _at a moment_, it may be better to set the time being enough for classical programs. -Hideki >- Don > > > > > >> I argue ten or fifteen minutes setting is enough and better for >> many developers than thirty minutes. >> >> -Hideki >> >> >>> -Jeff >>> >>> _______________________________________________ >>> computer-go mailing list >>> computer-go@computer-go.org >>> http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ >>> >> -- >> [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kato) >> _______________________________________________ >> computer-go mailing list >> computer-go@computer-go.org >> http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ >> >> >_______________________________________________ >computer-go mailing list >computer-go@computer-go.org >http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/ -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Kato) _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list computer-go@computer-go.org http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
