I hope this doesn't duplicate an existing discussion (did a quick search but didn't find anything specific).
I was disappointed to learn there won't be a Distributed Code Jam 2019. I really loved the format and I think it set Code Jam a league apart from comparable events. I hope DCJ returns soon! One suggestion: it might be even better if the # of cores could be increased, so e.g. a fully parallelized plain Python solution can pass a test case that a single-threaded, super-optimized C++ solution can't. I feel that at 100, the focus is often still on low-level optimization of the constant term, rather than improving big-O complexity. If technically feasible, a larger number of (perhaps artificially) slower cores could emphasize the parallel character very nicely - for example, making a factor of sqrt(#cores) relevant to the competition. I would appreciate any feedback, both from the organizers and from fellow contestants! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Google Code Jam" group.
