How to Run a Programming Contest
This web site describes the technical (rather than the
administrative) aspects of running a programming contest. Special
emphasis is placed on the creation of Linux CD-ROM's that can be booted
on existing machines, which need not be reconfigured for the
contest. The CD's will use whatever Linux swap partitions are
already available on the machines.
These instructions are primarily applicable to a
single-site/single-server contest. Some adjustments will be
necessary for multi-site/multi-server contests.
Any comments, criticism and (especially) helpful suggestions
will be appreciated.
