I'm not using winrar but RKC. See for example : http://www.maximumcompression.com/programs.php So whatever your uncompressed size, mine will be up to 4 to 10 times smaller in size than your outdated compression standards. If i want to compress fast i'm using 7-zip btw. Also a single compile option can matter 500KB in size easily. Further moving from x86 hardware to IPF hardware means executable size for same program with same compiler already grows a factor 2-3. That's without being optimized of course with PGO. When you optimize with PGO your executable at IPF grows bigtime in size. Now so far we still discussed just C software. How about C++ guys, or delphi guys? They make no chance in your definition.... >>>On May 19, 2004 at 00:29:42, Joshua Shriver wrote: >>> >>>>Are there any kind of hardware limitations in computer competitions? >>>> >>>>If not, I'd imagine people would just bring a small custom cluster. >>>> >>>>TSCP would beat Hiarcs or Shredder if tscp was parallelized and Hiarcs was on a >>>>486. >>>> >>>>Just an idea; perhaps there should be some kind of limitation. >>>>If not then you're not really testing the strength of the engines, but a >>>>combination of code and hardware.
