Each node of HA8000 cluster has 32 GB RAM which I believed is enough for a game with those time settings, up to 2s for a move, with no pondering, on 19x19. I observed, however, GC eventually run. I guess that affects little but I'll check it in the future experiments. >IIRC Don et. al.'s excellent scaling studies included gnugo but its effect was >probably >small. Self play dominated. Perhaps, what David Doshay calls, the "evil twin >effect" causes >self play to give the appearance of scaling better. I have the same thought now. Perhaps my experimental results support such recent claim by strong players that strongest programs such as Zen are not so strong against human. It seems, however, too early to conclude anyway.
