Technical Notes

• Software or hardware partition protection mechanism should be disabled for the duration of the competition. Please coordinate with the computer lab administration.
• We should ensure that each competitor get at least 5KB bandwidth access to TopCoder. A proxy server may be available at the competition time.
• Java Runtime Environment should be installed prior to the competition day. Competition arena will be provided externally with instructions. TopCoder will prepare the necessary installation files on the China website.
• Coding phase 75 minutes; intermission 5 minutes; challenge phase 15 minutes.
• Make sure each competitor is registered through the arena 5 minutes before the competition start time. Verify with the registrants listing.
• Check competitors' ID cards (with photo) with the handle that they log in with. TopCoder will provide the name and handle mapping.
• Competitors can bring any reference material they want, including electronic materials.
• Competitors should not discuss anything related to the competition itself, including but not limited to, interpretation of the problems, solution, algorithm, language usage by means of oral, phone, IM, email, arena chat, etc.
• Competitors can request clarification for interpretation of the problems through the arena contact admin functionality. However admin can reject such request if there is no ambiguity.
• Competitors can ask onsite staff about competition rules or connection problems.
• Competitors must exclusively use code of their own, including code that they wrote previously. Use code of others would conduct cheating, including code with simple permutation of variable naming.
• Competitors must not purposely write confusing code to avoid being challenged.
• Each competitor should use a single computer at a time, no one should employ a second computer for any purpose, nor should they look at other competitor's computer for any purpose.
• Competitors can code outside the arena and paste into it in order to submit, at their own risk if they use a local compiler.
• During the challenge phase competitors must not by any means run their peer's codes locally, including type them into an IDE.
• The memory limit of each data set is 64MB, while the time limit is 2 seconds. We use 10 (6 for Java, 2 for .NET, 2 for C++) 2-way 3.6G P4 Xeon systems for testing.
