You Ready to take the Intel® Threading Challenge? |
|
You're the developer who loves solving problems and crafting code. Don't miss your chance to show off your threading skills. There are five problem sets remaining on a variety of topics from a Sudoku puzzle to a chessboard problem. Meet the challenge by submitting the best multi-threaded code solution and win prizes. | |
| Each month a new problem set will be open for competition and you can be the winner of a $100 USD Gift Card. For the limited timeframe of June, July and August, compete for a 16GB iPod* Touch and a $200 USD gift card. Solve as many problem sets during the entire series to maximize your points and increase your chance to win the awesome grand prize – an Apple* MacBook Pro laptop. |
|
| What you need to do |
|
| Just review each month's problem set and submit your code solution at the contest website. On the 21st of each month, our panel of judges will review your final entry and assign points based on the following criteria: |
|
- Code Elegance – the organization of functions, methods, names of variables, documentation, or surprising use of an algorithm within the code.
- Execution Timing – the "wall clock" time of execution of the application.
