The ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is a multitier, team-based, programming competition operating under the auspices of ACM and headquartered at Baylor University. The contest involves a global network of universities hosting regional competitions that advance teams to the ACM-ICPC World Finals. Participation has grown to several tens of thousands of the finest students and faculty in computing disciplines at almost 2,000 universities from over 80 countries on six continents. The contest fosters creativity, teamwork, and innovation in building new software programs, and enables students to test their ability to perform under pressure. Quite simply, it is the oldest, largest, and most prestigious programming contest in the world. The goal is for teams to solve as many problems as they can in a limited time (about 5 hours). The problems generally emphasize knowledge of mathematical and programming concepts such as graph theory and combinatorics.
Contest structure:
Teams of 3 college students compete for a period of 5 hours to solve a set of 8-10 programming challenge problems - mostly based on algorithms. You're given one computer to use between the three of you, and your choice of 3 programming languages (Java, C, C++).
Because Amritapuri is only able to host about 50 teams on-site, the Asia-Amritapuri Regional Contest is itself a 2-stage one – an online contest held over the internet, and an onsite contest where contestants come to Amritapuri. Invitation to the on-site contest depends upon your performance in the on-line contest.
