Scenarios for Carrying Out the Competition in informatics with Specific Outdated Hardware

Abstract

Competitions in informatics are usually synonyms for algorithmic programming contests. A lot of programming contests in the world use automatic grading of the contestants’ solutions. Contestant should be able to upload the programming code as a solution for a given problem that he/she produced on a specific computer environment, real time. In this paper we present the problem of providing the right hardware for carrying out the competition, and discuss the possible solutions while using obsolete hardware.
