European University Challenge 2020: Data Reduction Algorithms
Została otwarta rejestracja na polską edycję European University Challenge 2020 organizowaną przez Huawei. W tym roku partnerem zawodów jest Uniwersytet Wrocławski. Zapraszamy wszystkich studentów (I, II lub III stopnia) polskich uczelni do wzięcia udziału. Zawody rozpoczną się 4 grudnia, a zakończą 22 stycznia Tematem zawodów będzie kompresja danych.

The Challenge
- Working independently, students will design and implement a similarity identification algorithm to improve the data reduction ratio.
- Similarity deduplication algorithm is a typical storage algorithm to find the similar data segments among a lot of data blocks, and call the compression methods to shrink the storage space the data would occupy.
- Identifying the data blocks containing similar segments in a large data set is the key for the algorithm. Students should aim to design and implement an intuitive mechanism to help identify these data blocks, and thereafter improve the data reduction ratio compared to the baseline algorithm.
Participants
To participate, students must be enrolled in a Polish university and working towards their Bachelor's, Master's or PhD. International students who are completing an exchange or participating in an Erasmus program in Poland are also welcome to take part.
Tech/Resources
- Required Programming Languages: C/C++ Required
- Operating System: Linux (CentOS Linux release 8.1.1911 is recommended, however other Linux OS will also work.)
Prizes
See the registration page!
Judging Criteria
The platform will score the results by the data reduction ratio. The higher the data reduction ratio, the better the result.
