St.Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics emerged as the home of the top computer geniuses in the “Battle of the Brains,” also known as the Association for Computing Machinery’s International Collegiate Programming Contest.
From 6,700 teams representing 1,821 universities in 83 countries competing at 213 sites from September to December 2007 worldwide, one hundred teams managed to advance to the World Finals. Students from the world's finest universities, offering the best education in the computing sciences and engineering competed for the awards, prizes, scholarships as well as the prestigious title of the World Champion.
In the contest, each team is given 11 computer programming problems, and only five hours in which to write software to solve them. Students from St. Petersburg State University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics solved eight of the 11 problems and became the World Champion of 2008 ACM Competition.
The top 10 institutions of ACM Winners this year included Russian universities from Izhevsk, Moscow, Petrozavodsk and St.Petersburg (Izhevsk State Technical University, Moscow State University, Petrozavodsk State University, St. Petersburg State University), thus proving once again that Russia still scores the highest in the art of software programming. Reksoft is proud to sponsor the Russian team and warmly congratulates the winners!
