   4 /* Management of UCT trees. See diagram below for the node structure.
   5  *
   6  * Two allocation methods are supported for the tree nodes:
   7  *
   8  * - calloc/free: each node is allocated with one calloc.
   9  *   After a move, all nodes except the subtree rooted at
  10  *   the played move are freed one by one with free().
  11  *   Since this can be very slow (seen 9s and loss on time because
  12  *   of this) the nodes are freed in a background thread.
  13  *   We still reserve enough memory for the next move in case
  14  *   the background thread doesn't free nodes fast enough.
  15  *
  16  * - fast_alloc: a large buffer is allocated once, and each
  17  *   node allocation takes some of this buffer. After a move
  18  *   is played, no memory if freed if the buffer still has
  19  *   enough free space. Otherwise the subtree rooted at the
  20  *   played move is copied to a temporary buffer, pruning it
  21  *   if necessary to fit in this small buffer. We copy by
  22  *   preference nodes with largest number of playouts.
  23  *   Then the temporary buffer is copied back to the original
  24  *   buffer, which has now plenty of space.
  25  *   Once the fast_alloc mode is proven reliable, the
  26  *   calloc/free method will be removed. */
