PC²

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

PC² is the Programming Contest Control System developed at California State University, Sacramento in support of Computer Programming Contest activities of the ACM, and in particular the ACM International Collegiate Programming Contest and its Regional Contests around the world.

PC² has been in use by the ACM Mid-Atlantic Programming Contest for the past several years. In earlier years, systems administrators had limited success with the program due to its distributed nature. Each of the contest sites ran a PC² server which needed to initiate and accept Java RMI connections with every other site. Significant delays were caused by firewalls and bandwidth limitations at one or more sites. Said problems were avoided in the Fall of 2005, as all PC² servers were located in a central datacenter.
