Alpha Submission
In order to ensure that the contest environment is able to support all entries ahead of the beta and final submission deadline, a mandatory step for continued participation in the contest is the submission of an early "alpha" release. The performance of this alpha submission will have zero effect on the final submission score; instead, the organizers will endeavour to work with contestants to ensure that the runtime environment is as desired. Contestants will receive private feedback from the organizers assessing the performance of just their submission on the released benchmark suite (plus a hidden benchmark) when run on the contest runtime environment.
Key Details
- Alpha submission is mandatory for continued participation in the contest
- Performance of alpha submissions will be shared privately with contestants and will not impact the final score
- Alpha submissions will be evaluated on the contest runtime environment
Submission Format
Contestants are required to submit a zip file containing a clone of the contest
repository which has been modified to run their submission.
Specifically, organizers must be able to run the submission by calling only
the make run-submission target. More details to follow.
Closed-Source Submissions
While contestants are strongly encouraged to open-source their solutions at the conclusion of the contest, there is no requirement to do so. In such cases, it is still necessary to use the flow described above to produce a binary only submission.
