Dave Churchill wrote me to say that he is running an alternate version of AIIDE 2022, on physical hardware instead of virtual machines. I’m sure people on Discord already know it. I gather that neither version is to be more official than the other, but since few timeouts are happening on the physical hardware, the new version is likely to be a better gauge of how bots perform when working as intended.

Result tables are being updated once per minute as the tournament runs. As I write, the rankings look quite different than in the original tournament.

When it’s done, I expect to make at least a couple posts about the results, and quite possibly more.

I was given this picture of the scrounged-up hardware, and told that it is four i7-7700 boxes plus two i7-7700k. They’re not identical, but the difference should be small and probably not noticeable.
