The teams will setup their solution for the competition on the full system. GWDG staff may support here to get the systems started but no configuration/optimization to setup the system for the benchmarking campaign of the team will be done by technical staff.
After it is ensured that the systems are booted as expected the teams will have 2 weeks to perform their test and execute the given tasks.
While the timeframe covers 4 weeks the last week will be used as buffer by the technical staff to ensure the system state, including OS images, is back to the standard config provided by GWDG in the beginning to ensure the same starting conditions for all teams.
At ISC25, we will host a BoF session and will reveal the results and honor the successful teams. Selected teams will have the opportunity to present their approach and results in detail.
In case the BoF is not accepted, we will organize a parallel (online) event but still hand out the trophies during ISC.
