I understand that training this thing requires massive amount of computation, so has to be done on a massive cluster to do in reasonable time. Once they have it trained, though, what are the computational requirements like? Would it be feasible to run it on an ordinary PC?<p>Speaking of Go programs and computation requirements, one of the best performance hacks ever was done by Dave Fotland, the author of the program &quot;Many Faces of Go&quot;, which was one of the top computer go programs from the &#x27;80s through at least around 2010.<p>He donated code from MFoG to SPEC, which incorporated it into the SPECInt benchmark. So, the better a given processor was at running Fotland&#x27;s go code, the better it scored on SPECInt. Since SPEC was one of the most widely reported benchmarks, Intel and AMD and the other processor makers put a lot of effort into making their processors run these benchmarks as fast as they code.<p>Net result, Fotland had the processor makers working hard to make their processors run his code faster!
