CarlOthello: an FPGA-Based Monte Carlo othello player CarlOthello: an FPGA-Based Monte Carlo othello player Δημοσίευση σε Συνέδριο Conference Publication 2015-11-172010enIn the FPT 2010 International Conference an Othello competition has been announced, based on the popular game and with requirements for implementation of full designs on standardized FPGA platforms. This paper presents in detail the CarlOthello architecture and design, which is heavily pipelined in order to increase the expansion rate of the overall system, reaching a peak of 4×108 expansions per second. The Monte Carlo-based Othello player was fully designed, implemented in hardware, and tested. This design wins every game against the FPT 2010 reference software.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/515-518International Conference on Field-Programmable Technology Smerdis Miltiadis Σμερδης Μιλτιαδης Malakonakis Pavlos Μαλακωνακης Παυλος Dollas Apostolos Δολλας Αποστολος Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Computer software engineering software engineering computer software engineering
