Tiny changes to remove compiling dependency on tensorflow

Building tensorflow is a little bit complicate for me. So I made this.

Build on Linux or Windows

• No tensorflow requirement
• No changes to AQ original code
• [optional] CUDA 7.0/8.0/9.0 CUDNN 6.0/7.0
• [optional] BLAS (OpenBLAS/Intel MKL/..)

mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. or cmake .. -G "Visual Studio 14 2015 Win64" -T host=x64 (windows)
cmake --build . --config Release 

Chganges

• NN forwarding using modified dlib dnn (https://github.com/davisking/dlib)
• TF Graph parsing using modified protobuf (https://github.com/google/protobuf)
• add a CMakeLists.txt

AQ

AQ is a program of Go game with level of top players.
CGOS rating: 3952 (BayesElo)

Requirement

Windows

AQ (with GPU)

• OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later (NOT tested on 8.1/10)
• GPU: Nvidia GPU with CUDA capability of >=3.0
• CPU: CPU with SSE 4.2

AQ-mini (with CPU only)

• OS: 64-bit Windows 7 or later (NOT tested on 8.1/10)
• CPU: CPU with SSE 4.2

Linux

• OS: 64-bit Linux
• GPU: Nvidia GPU with CUDA capability of >=3.0
• CPU: CPU with SSE 4.2

Usage

Pre-compiled executables

AQ configuration

Set hardware and time control etc. in 'aq_config.txt.'

Time control on CGOS

First of all, it is not recommended that users connect the released version as it is to CGOS. The developer is well aware of the capabilities of the released versions and tested it in advance with 4thread/1GPU: i7-6700/GTX1080.
Of course, if you made your own changes to the source code or pb files, that is welcome. Please check your AQ's rating and send pull request!

The recommended settings are as follows.

-main time[sec] =900  
-byoyomi[sec] =0  
-emergency time[sec] =15 #set 60 when connecting from outside Japan  

!!!Caution!!! This version was trained in Komi = 6.5 for the Japanese rule. So, AQ often loses 0.5 point at Black, but that is inevitable.

GoGui setting

GoGui is a graphical interface to Go-engines (programs without own GUI), which use the Go Text Protocol (GTP).
See the 'GTP Shell' console to know AQ's thinking log.

Linux

command: (install directory)/AQ

(Ex.)  
/home/user/gogui-1.4.9/AQ/AQ  

Windows

command: (install directory)\AQ.exe

(Ex.)  
C:\Users\user\gogui-1.4.9\AQ\AQ.exe  

Build from source code

Linux

See this instruction.

Windows
