$begingroup$


In Deep Mind's Rainbow paper, how come A3C algorithm be so slow? twice slower than DDQN... Was it trained on a single actor? :D



It's on page 1 of the paper



enter image description here



Wasn't A3C supposed to be something a lot more powerful?



For example as splendid as this, taken from here:
