I want 64 bits. Others want 32 bits. The best solution is to give the participants the possibility to choose the hardware when the participants do not need to care to bring the hardware that they choose and the organizers do it for them. If we talk about WMCCC then a better alternative than uniform hardware is that programmers will be able to ask the organizers to give them every machine that they ask(behind some price) with only one codition that the machine does not have more than one cpu.
