[Termtools] competition dec 09 started

[Simon Bailey]

dear all,

the competition started this morning at 11:03:

from the spooler.log:
<<<
2009-12-17 11:03:11,043  INFO SpoolQueue:67 - Starting Competition  
101722
 >>>

the results can be seen here:

http://termcomp.uibk.ac.at/termcomp/competition/categoryList.seam?competitionId=101722&cid=51

the tuples (tool,problem) are not being executed in any set order. the  
spooler stores the tuples in a [blocking] priority queue, competitions  
(and test jobs) get a priority of 0 (highest priority) to halt  
operation of any long-running experiments, which have a lower priority  
set. a poll() operation on a queue with multiple elements with the  
same priority returns a random result from the waiting set.

this explains the "holes" in the category tables. they will be filled  
up as the tuples are executed.

as always, bugzilla is open for business at http://dev.aspsimon.org/bugzilla/

regards,
sb
