how to make phoenixgo move faster?

[herogan2017]

I have tested Phoenixgo in sabaki with Leelazero, but Phoenixgo costs much time to think and move slow. My question is how to set to make Phoenixgo move faster?

hi,

you can try these things :

• reduce the simulations (playouts) per move : https://github.com/Tencent/PhoenixGo/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#a7-how-make-phoenixgo-think-with-longershorter-time
• increase batch size and threads (will make moves slightly weaker) https://github.com/Tencent/PhoenixGo/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#a9-what-is-the-speed-of-the-engine--how-can-i-make-the-engine-think-faster-
• start from an already fixed position (for example if the openings are always the same, you can start at move 30-40 to save time): https://github.com/Tencent/PhoenixGo/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#a8-how-make-phoenixgo-start-at-other-position-at-move-1-and-after
• if you're on windows, compile your own phoenixgo with bazel on linux, it is much much faster: https://github.com/Tencent/PhoenixGo/blob/master/docs/FAQ.md#b0-it-is-too-hard-to-install-bazel-or-start-bazel and you may also see this for help https://github.com/Tencent/PhoenixGo/issues/95
