I'm not sure it's really fair to compare Stockfish to AlphaZero; AlphaZero used 24h of 5000 TPUs in compute time, and still needed 4 TPUs in real play, while Stockfish ran on just 64 threads and 1GB RAM. Nonetheless, still an impressive achievement.
- nandemo 9y agoWait, how's the 24h x 5000 TPUs relevant? That is training time, and that training corresponds to years and years of hardcoding evaluations in Stockfish, not to compute time during the match.
- Recursing 9y agoOnly 1GB RAM? Really?
- bluecalm 9y agoYes, this is really strange. Hash table size is a major contributing factor for strength of chess programs. It looks like a very artificial limitation.
