	Computer Go - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Computer Go is the field of artificial intelligence (A.I.) dedicated to creating a computer program that plays Go, an ancient board game.
		Computer Go is typically restricted to programs which actually play moves; programs which only allow replay of expert games or play against opponents across the internet are not considered computer go programs.
		Computer Go research results are being applied to other similar fields such as cognitive science, pattern recognition and machine learning (Muller 150).

	HPC BENCHMARKS: GOING FOR GOLD IN A COMPUTER OLYMPIAD?
		Thus, although more comprehensive benchmarks were successfully implemented in the 1980s, the effort required to run them and continuously update them to reflect the new computer hardware, has caused their demise, or at best consigned them to a very specialized domain of private users.
		The total performance is the integral of all the results from computational elements factoring reductions caused by bottlenecks from combinatorial interactions.
		It is an important benchmark because it exercises the communications of the computer heavily on a realistic problem where pairs of processors communicate with each other simultaneously.

		I analyzed games from the jenazon cup 2001 and from the olympiad 2001 to improve the endgame capabilities of Amazong, but Amazong is still far from treating all examples from the paper 'Experiments in Computer Amazons' correctly.

		David Doshay's SlugGo program was one of two go-playing computer programs playing in the 2005 Cotsen Open, held April 29-30, 2005 (Anders Kierulf's SmartGo was the other).
		Named after the Banana Slug because it's the mascot of the University of California at Santa Cruz, where Doshay is a Research Associate in computer science and physics (his students wrote the original version according to his specifications).
		The Cotsen was SlugGo's debut performance and human opponents had the choice of not being paired with either computer program (AGA rules stipulate that games with computers are not rated), although most agreed to play; SlugGo competed at 9k and SmartGo at 10k.
