At least in the qualification round, our submissions were sandboxed on a single core (at least, I got no measurable performance increase by running multiple threads or processes). Although I previously relied on using multiple cores (8 cores of Javascript is about as performant as one of C++, so on the problems with tight limits, I could use my language of choice without needing an algorithmicly superior solution as I would in C++), I think it's probably better for the competition to not give a benefit to using multi-process/thread solutions - there's the Distributed Code Jam for that ;). -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
