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 [3] (UPDATE: this was out of date, the limit is actually 64 GB)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]
