Steve,
I was one of the people who posted in the debate - I implemented light
playouts on CUDA for testing purposes, with one thread per playout
(rather than one per intersection).
I think one of the main things that I am curious about, and I don't
think I am the only one, is whether texture memory or other such
facilities could be used for fast pattern matching. How heavy playouts
would perform on CUDA is a big unanswered question. Depending on the
answers you get, it may be possible to run heavy playouts on the CPU,
but delegate a pattern matching queue to CUDA. No idea - a good field
for research :)

Hi.
I hope to have a student for the next month or two who can look into some
computer Go before starting his Masters degree. He is interested in
using CUDA
for his Masters, so I thought it would be nice for him to investigate
applicability of CUDA for computer Go.
I know there was quite a debate about this not so long ago, and I
don't mean to
re-open it. I was just wondering if anyone has a specific
investigation of
limited scope they would like done, or think might be valuable with
respect to CUDA.
I hope to continue further working with Fuego, so if you have suggestions
specific to Fuego, that would be particularly useful.
Thanks,
