In 2014, the Termination Competition will be part of the FLoC Olympic Games.

Competition Categories

(to be announced)

Dates (tentative)

  • registration of solvers: June 15
  • updates of registered solvers, submission of new benchmark sets: July 1
  • competition starts: July 15
  • results announced: during FLoC Olympic Games Award Ceremony, Vienna.

Technical Detail

We intend to run the competition on

  • submit solvers for testing the platform [1]
  • how to register on starexec [2] NOTE: this registration is for testing, and not for actual competition. There may be service interruptions (e.g., sudden changes in benchmark arrangement).
  • STAREXEC_MAX_MEM only 750 MB? [3] (UPDATE: this was out of date, the limit is actually 64 GB)
  • Beware if your solver writes to stderr. The "postprocessor" (that expects YES|NO in the first line, for termination) gets to see stdout and stderr merged. If you have trace/log output, you can only show it after the actual answer.
  • hardware on starexec: see [4]
  • software on starexec: RHEL 6.3 (so Centos 6.3 should be a close match). Package selection, see [5]
  • java is available on starexec nodes (jdk 1.6.0_41) - see [6]
