News

Updated slides the third time, again for the multi track but without changing the ranking. The problem was that tip produced 3 GB log files for the bob12m04, which were not flushed to disk. After adding sync to the launch script and running the multi track again, this problem went away and tip and tipbmc scored substantial more properties.

Updated slides again to fix multi track ranking. Due to an error in an analysis script, tip and mpmc switched places. New actual winner in the multi track is the new comer mpmc.

Added CSV Spread sheets summarizing results in tables.

Updated slides to include results on running tarmo with flushing the output.

Benchmarks and detailed results available.
