| Abstract(in English) | In the monte-carlo simulation of Go, it takes time to run playouts. There were attempts of accelerating by implementing circuits for playout on FPGA, but it is difficult to realize high-speed playouts because of high utilization of resources in a FPGA. In this paper, we propose an algorithm, Triple Line-based Playout for Go (TLPG) to accelerate playouts for the monte-carlo tree search for computer-go game. We implemented the playout logics on FPGA for 9x9 and 19x19 boards. With the optimizations, We achieved 13104playouts/sec in 9x9 and 2055playouts/sec in 19x19 board in simulation. By making games with GNU Go on a host Computer, We evaluation the playouts of TLPG. |
