01. 11. 2011 IEEEXtreme Programming Competition 5.0
The international IEEEXtreme Programming Competition 5.0 took place at EPFL on October 22nd 2011. The successful event was open to IEEE members and it was co-organized on behalf of the IEEE EPFL Student Branch by Maria-Alexandra Paun, PhD student in Microelectronics and co-Chair of IEEE WIE Affinity Group in Switzerland.
On this occasion, four teams represented EPFL and wrote code to solve the 17 proposed problems in four phases, for 24 hours non-stop. The programmers were tested not only for their coding expertise, but also for the speed and stamina in solving as many questions as possible.
The programming test of endurance has proven to be a worldwide success:
* IEEEXtreme 5.0 welcomed members from 65 countries in every region!
* More than 1'500 teams registered - over 4'000 students and 450 proctors!
* There were 31'444 solution submissions!
The final results are to be announced by IEEE in November.
