Presentation by Two Internship students from Technical Colleges (KOSEN)

Hideki Ikeda (National Institute of Technology, Kushiro College) and Ryota Takahashi (National Institute of Technology, Tomakomai College) visited our laboratory as internship students from 29th July (Mon.) to 9th August (Fri.). Their theme of the two-week internship is “Acceleration of Shogi AI by Parallelization of Monte Carlo Tree Seach”, and they worked on parallel programming using MPI. They had a presentation of their results on 8th August (Thu.), and explained the experimental results obtained by running their developed Python codes. Though they repeated trial-and-error during the very short period, they had conducted experiments from which the parallelization effect can be observed, and had a well-prepared easy-to-understand presentation. Many laboratory members attended and enjoyed the presentation despite summer vacation.
