In Response To: time considerations (Timothy Chow)

The top computer at 16.32 PFlops is about 128,000 faster than an single Intel 3770K.

That means that theoretically a RO that take 4 hours on the PC (and a fast one) could take 0.1 second on that beast. Cute! I wish i had a day of CPU time on that for training the NN!

Scaling XG for that would be hard, though. it's easy enough to dispatch a N games Rollout on N processor. But over 1,572,864 core like Sequoia it will take some creative thinking to use the computer to its full power.
