I've always been fascinated with things like this, especially FPGA boards.
Though from every article or post I've read concerning (at least
chess) and things like FPGA, video cards... the bug speed is to slow
to really be effective.

Yes, that's true. But nothing prevents the design of

leverage economies of scale. Using a x86 core would make for an
interesting notebook solution :)

SlugGo does parallel lookahead of various possible moves.
Would something like NVIDIA CUDA be useful?
Hard to tell. There seems to be an underlying assumption that the

Wouldn't it be cool if Intel or AMD would release a CPU with a primary
core somewhere close to today's state of the art along with oh, say,
about 256 lower-tech, existing-design cores. Like 386s or something.
Definitely the mini-cores would have to be 32 bit, but they don't need

This is definately the direction things are headed. Processors are going to

I thought about to build such a machine into a big FPGA. Lets say 128
softprocessors which are controlled by the ARM-core of the FPGA. Building a
softprocessor is relativ trivial. It need not have the quirks of the 0x88.
The "natural" size in a XiLinx FPGA is a 16-Bit processor with a 18 Bit

FGA has it's limitations on speed and size. Paralell has it's practical
limitations. The best approach is a Go playing processor. It doesn't exist now,
but I'm sure there will be one some day. To make the day coming just a little

8086 instruction set. Anything less and you will have accidentally
left something out that you need.

Well, let me modify that statement. My point is that there's no point
in designing a go-specific instruction set. One should use a proven
gen
the processing is done with FPGAs.
CT is a somewhat bigger market than computer Go.
