  • to win amazing prizes from Huawei!

It is an individual competition.

The ICPC 2023 Online Challenge powered by Huawei:

Start: November 20, 2023 15:00 (UTC+8)

Finish: December 4, 2023 15:00 (UTC+8)

We hope you'll enjoy this complex yet very exciting Challenge!

Problem

We are glad to propose to you an exciting challenge “Deterministic Scheduling for Extended Reality over 5G and Beyond”, which is prepared by Huawei Wireless Product Line.

In this contest, we focus on a XR-service scheduling problem to maximize the total number of successfully transformed XR-data frames under specific transmission requirements. Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term for different types of realities such as virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR), which can provide people with immersive experience. To achieve better user-experience, scheduling algorithm should be proposed to efficiently utilize the limited radio resources, e.g., time resource, frequency resource, and power resource. Due to several practical constraints, the scheduling task is a typical NP-hard problem.

      Well, I suppose not. But it might not be as helpful as normal contests if the problems are much harder than what I can solve

    Definitely. This competition is much different from the regular "speedforces", since you will be working on a single (but hard problem) for 2 weeks, iterating on it finding better approximations (instead of exact solutions). You will have time to research and possibly learn many new things. I have seen in the previous competition some people performing really well having "low" rating, or unranked.

          its an contest sponsored by huawei it includes 1 singular problem which is NP-Hard im probably not the best at explaining this but NP-Hard is on the difficulty of the Turing Halting Problem (non-deterministic polynomial-time hard)

Why don't they provide Chinese questions for such competitions every time? Is it difficult to do two sets of questions? Isn't Huawei a Chinese company?

Hi, I am very green to codeforces, I have read the guidelines but I just want to make sure that I am eligible. I am senior communications engineering student. Also, to fellow codeforces users like me who have or haven't participated in a huawei challenge like this before I want to ask: "is it worth it? Should I even try or I am way out the league of most participants? Also, what is is it gonna be like ? How should i prepare"

Is it enough to only set your Codeforces email the same as your ICPC email to be eligible for prizes?

Will there be system test based on hidden test set like in the previous contest, or will the leaderboard be the final results?

Update: Looks like Huawei just published an announcement that addresses this

I submitted the code a dozen times yesterday, but they were all been wrong. Today I was told that the problem is the space at the end of a line, which is too stupid.
