ITMO students played the first day at the world's oldest Olympiad at the ACM ICPC 2017 programming, having won the award for the super championship. Tse soma I win at the championship, which is a light record. Remembrance of the past fate of St. Petersburg State University sowing the fourth month.

Peremoga ITMO

The team of the St. Petersburg National University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics (ITMO) sent the first place to the International Olympiad with the program ACM ICPC 2017. Let's win the gold medal, Ivan Bilonogov, Illya Zban, Volodymyr Smikalov that coach Andriy Stankevich were awarded with a prize of $12 thousand.

The final round of the Olympiad of Proyshov on May 24 at Rapid City, USA. Representatives of ITMO were able to correctly score 10 days out of 12, and work better and better. Behind the words of the peremozhtsiv, turning around with 10 leaders for 4 years, they were helped by intuition, as it allowed them to snuggle up at the process of cherry-picking the facts. Champions є students of the Department of Computer Technologies, їхній trainer of the finalists of the ACM ICPC last 15 years.

Other prizes

12 best teams are awarded medals to the championship, as they took part in the finals. This time the teams from Warsaw University, Seoul University and St. state university(SPbDU). Their participants also scored 10 days out of 12, but they played at the score. The teams were also awarded with gold medals.

ITMO has become the champion of the world of programming

The teams of Fudan University, Peking University, Xinhua University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology have moved up to the silver medalists of the Olympiad. Bronze medals The teams of the University of Tokyo, the Swedish Royal Institute of Technology, the Ural Federal University and the Korean Institute of Advanced Technologies were awarded.

Olympiad record holder

Russia takes part in ACM ICPC since 1995. During the whole hour, the Russian teams became the champions of the Olympiad 12 times. For ITMO, this victory was already evident. The past year was the first month of sowing SPbDU, on the rahunka, like a fire, 4 wins in the Olympiad. ITMO of the same fate will receive a medal. VNZ є the record holder for the number of wins at the ACM ICPC, as the first bula was held in 1977. The world's oldest programming championship is sponsored by IBM.

46,381 students from 2,948 universities in 103 countries took part in the Olympiad. 133 teams reached the final, 13 Russian teams. Three of them represented universities in Moscow, many teams came from St. Petersburg, and other participants were from Yekaterinburg, Novosibirsk, Perm, Petrozavodsk, Saratov, Samaria and Tomsk.

On May 24, Rapid City (USA) celebrated the culmination of the ACM World Programming Championship ICPC-2017. The ITMO University team became the absolute champions, scoring 10 out of 12 wins and scoring for supers. In this way, the St. Petersburg university, having set a new record in the history of the contest: the selections for ITMO University have become an opportunity for ACM ICPC, which has not yet gone to the same university in the world. The champion cup was lifted over the head by the students of the Department of Computer Technologies Volodymyr Smikalov, Ivan Bilonogov and Illya Zban. 133 teams from all regions of the world take part in the finals of the most prestigious smash among programmers, the smash has already passed 41 times.

Awarding the ITMO University team

The choice of the university was able to correctly score 10 days out of 12, spending the least amount of time on the price. The very hour of accomplishment of tasks and the smaller number of recent attempts at their tasks secured the team's sixth ACM ICPC Cup. The other "golden" teams, as they put together the four leaders in the contest, also scored ten tasks. Literally five champions of the world were attacked by the team Warsaw University, kolishna leader of ACM ICPC-2017. On the third position of the program from the Seoul National University. The SPbDU team finished with the fourth result - the champion of the past fate. Selection for ITMO University is made up of 3 students Faculty of Information Technology and ProgrammingVolodymyr Smikalova(the first year of the master's degree of the department of CT), Ivan Bilonogov(fourth year bachelor of the department of CT) that Illy Zbanya(the fourth year of the bachelor's degree of the department of CT). The head coach of the team was Associate Professor of the Department of Computer Technologies, Candidate of Technical Sciences Andriy Stankevich, who has prepared more than one generation of athletes-programmers in 2016 to win the prestigious award ACM ICPC Senior Coach Award for those who have been at the final of the competition for 15 years.

“Zmagannya went by miraculously smoothly,- share hostility Ivan Bilonogov. - Some leaders intuitively bowed to the facts, as if they could not bring it right, and it almost did not lead us. We managed to build 10 days, in fact, for a couple of years, and the price gave a garniy reserve of intoxication. But only in the kintsy, if we got ten days, I thought: “Okay, maybe, take the gold!”.

Other Russian teams also became the winners: the MFTI team after ACM ICPC, and the Ural Federal University "bronze" contest. For the last year Russia was represented by 13 teams - one more, a smaller one for the past, three teams from Moscow and St. Petersburg, and another from other places: Saratov, Perm, Petrozavodsk, Novosibirsk, Samaria, Tomsk and Yekaterinburg. Teams from the Russian Federation have taken part in the championship since 1993, and since 2000 they have outperformed the team 12 times already, including the river.

With a complete table of results, you can find out for help.

“All the teams that made it to the TOP-12 were repeatedly named on the lists of favorites - there were no great surprises. Por_vnya with the past fate, Asian universities showed a hard turn: last year they got only two medals, and at once - a whole lot of them. However, the skin region has a lot of strong teams and competition is getting hot”, - team coach comments to ITMO University Andriy Stankevich.

The rest of the year, zmagan, zіznavsya coach, bula for the new one is not less laudable, lower for її podopіchnyh.

“Since the tournament table is frozen, the usual ways to show the coach that the building is scheduled, the boys don’t have, for the first time, the image from the screen of their computer during the broadcast, switched to the side with the results, and thought: otzhe, all harazd, zdali. It was not the same orders, in view of which varto would have been taken for wrong opinions ", - the coach shares.

Traditionally, like every other year, the contest was held for five years. For the whole hour, the participants may virishiti practice-orientation of the task. The peculiarity of the zmagan is that the team of three people sit in front of one computer. To that cream of logic, that vminnya pratsyuvati under the vise, the stench can show the skills of a commanding grit and the correct distribution of roles. In order to win the deeds of the zavdannya, it is enough for less than accuracy and respect, to appoint the organizers of the championship. For others, the knowledge of various algorithms is required to be lost. As a result of the work of the command, the most part is the software security, which is the best way to deliver to the minds. Tasks are reviewed automatically after the tests, as a result, the scores are added up, the review of the decisions is reviewed in real time. The totality of the number of tasks is covered, as well as the number of samples, as the team worked out when the order was completed. Do not wait for the command to get up and down with the mustache. Such zhorstkі mind you can live in real life: even a client can simply act as a programmer's services, for another hour and the resources of the first.

In order to get to the ACM ICPC finals, it is necessary to go through a medical examination at the high school. Ring out at these gates to take the fate of over 300 thousand people. Then we will pass, at which leaders are appointed, the day of the finale. Champions of the ICPC win the Cup of the World Championship and a solid penny prize, which is worth 15,000 US dollars. Other winning teams also cannot go without material wine.

The International Collegiate Programming Contest has been held widely since 1977 under the auspices of the Association for Computing Technology (ACM, headquartered in New York). This year ACM ICPC again set a new record for the number of participants. 46,381 students from Mayzhe, three thousand universities took the fate of the regional schools. More than 40,000 programmers participated in the last year during the championship. According to the statistics of the organizers of the entry, the number of participants increased by 2000% since 1997, since the championship was promoted by IBM.

Bagato did not win! The skin is more advanced in front. The team of the St. Petersburg University of Information Technologies, Mechanics and Optics won the head cup for the world programming championship ACM ICPC 2017. Tse soma win ITMO from the most prestigious intellectual tournament young programmers.

Battle of the strongest

The greatest student-programmers from over a hundred countries were born on May 20 at Rapid City, near Pivdenny Dakota, USA. 128 teams took part in the new one, 13 of them represented Russia, three - St. Petersburg. The finale was checked not only by the team, but also by the killers, who were stalking for the live broadcast. In order to become champions of the world, young programmers were guilty of doing the right thing more than 12 tasks set before them.

The battle turned out to be difficult. The teams literally advanced one to one on five. After 40 minutes, the future champions lost less than three goals, but more than three in the ninth place in the tournament table. Ale stink viri. Ni. The stinks knew that they could be better and better. After another 20 minutes, the ITMO team won five days ago and outperformed all the supers. After eight o'clock the leader changed. Ale, the ninth again turned the pіtertsіv in the first place. After ten victories, the teams stopped in the final scores.

Semirazov Champions

The results of the student championship in sports programming ACM ACPC-2017 became the home of the students. First, the team sent ITMO University, adding up to six wins one, - they announced the radio news on the official side of the university in the social media about 01:36 outside Moscow.

Programmers from ITMO University have confirmed their world record, and the winning cup of the most prestigious student tournament in the midst of programmers is coming to St. Petersburg.

The choice of the university was able to correctly score 10 out of 12 days, spending the least amount of time on the price. The very hour of the ceremony that less than a handful of recent samples of their projects secured the team's ACM ICPC Cup, the press service of ITMO confirms.

Axis stink, heroes!

This victory for ITMO University at ACM ICPC, having won the 10th out of 12th award for the best view and the best for all opponents, was brought by students of the Department of Computer Technologies Ivan Bilonogov, Illya Zban and Volodymyr Smikalov. The head coach of the peremozhtsiv team is Andriy Stankevich, associate professor of the department of computer technologies, candidate of technical sciences.


Today, about the 18th of the Moscow hour, in the American Rapid City, the finale of the most prestigious light magic for programmers - ACM ICPC will be announced. We ask for all requests for support live (The live broadcast will start soon about the 17th anniversary in Moscow) and support the ITMO University team - one of the favorites in the championship. About those, how the teams from the whole world were preparing to the final, and also the forecasts for victory are lower.

Not a lot of facts

  • Sports programming selectively selects more participants, lower Olympic games- 46,381 people from 103 countries took part in the ACM ICPC stunners, at that time, 11,544 athletes took part in the Summer Olympics in Rio at all stages (4 times less).
  • Interest up to zmagan grows with skin rock. Yak zaznachaє Volodymyr Parfonov, director regіonalnogo pіvfіnalu chempionship ACM ICPC in Russie is the kraїnah Pіvnіchno-Shіdnoї Єvropi, Dean of the Faculty іnformatsіynih tehnologіy that programuvannya Unіversitetu ІTMO, in 2004 rotsі in svіtovіy pershostі ACM ICPC was taking the fate of 8000 programіstіv (vklyuchayuchi regіonalnі vіdbіrkovі Etap) 2016 - already over 40 thousand.
  • Behind the Russian viches, the leadership of the championship has long been established - our teams have become the absolute champions of the ACM ICPC 11 times. Among them, the ITMO University teams won 6 times in the championship - the world's record (in 2017 ITMO University's teams compete for the title of the seven-time champion of the world).
  • The number of participants from Russia is already high already: in 2004, 2,100 programmers from Russia took part in all stages of the championship, until 2016, their number increased to 3,400.
  • The format of the ACM ICPC championship is called not only one of the largest in the distance, but also one of the most complicated: the skin team has only one computer and, in the style of the term, it may be the most successful. Through this, at the championship, there are not only advancements to creativity, knowledge of the algorithms and “materiel”, but also to the role of the team.
I would say that it is possible to achieve success in increasing to a perfect level, only knowledge of the first category [knowledge of mathematics, algorithms, language programming], is possible. Tim is no less, knowing the other category [reviewing the right tactics, learning a competent resource distribution] greatly simplifies life and works like a catalyst. Like in any sport: є physical beginners, and є knowledge of technology, psychology, too. It is possible to achieve success only for the first time, but another pracyuvatime catalyst

– Pavlo Krotkov, graduate of the Faculty of Information Technology and Programming at ITMO University, participant and organizer of faceless programming contests in Russia and abroad, including ACM ICPC NEERC

  • Before the speech, starting from the anniversary of the past fate, Pavlo and his colleagues - Maxim Buzdalov, the champion of ACM ICPC 2009 to the fate of Daria Yakovleva, as in 2016 the number has increased to ten on the international program Google Code Jam for Women - to teach the course “How to change: secrets of the champions”, launching ITMO University on the edX platform. We wrote about those who gave champions to beginners in sports programming here:.
  • For the online broadcast of the championship, the team of the ITMO University is also supported (well, not athletes-programmers, but fakhivtsiv from video broadcasting). At that hour, as the participants of the championship are fighting for the championship title, the video group, analysts, director, director, designer, programmers and video editors will try to remake the ACM ICPC final for the win, for such a cіkavo will posterigat people from all over the world. Until the speech, which fate is special for the Russian gazers, we organize the movement of the Russian language. About those, how the team works, how the hardware and software solutions are victorious every hour of the broadcast, read in this material.

Preparation of participants

First, take a part in the finals, teams go through training at different front camps. One of these training stages should be held on the basis of the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (Moscow Workshops ACM ICPC).

The format of the workshops should be hard: for 11 days of non-stop training, student participants win at least 100 Olympiad tasks. Also, within the framework of the training program, consultations are carried out with the selection of lectures and presentation of lecture materials.

Future challenges do not matter to such training: in 2016, 8 out of 13 ACM ICPC teams took part in training camps. And in the latest Moscow Workshops ACM ICPC, 170 students and trainers took part, representing 19 countries and 44 universities. The possibility of distance participation allowed teams from the USA, Latvia, Romania, China and India to be trained by Russian fahivts.

Predictions: who will win

According to the estimates of Andriy Stankevich, team coach of the ITMO University and a member of the organizing committee of the pivfinal championship of the world in the lands of Pivnichno-Skhidnoy Europe, among the contenders for the victory of this fate will be the next universities:
  • Russia: St. Petersburg State University, ITMO University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (three of the best teams in the Pivnichno-Skhidna Europe region)
  • China: Xinhua University, Shanghai University of Transportation, Fudan University, Beijing University.
  • USA: Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
  • Sweden: Royal Technological Institute.
According to Andriy Stankevich, teams from other Chinese and Korean universities can compete with them, and the team of Warsaw University is also traditionally strong.
As shown by the pre-final competitions at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, the team of the Chinese Xinhua University is even stronger. Before her, students enter, as if in their time schoolchildren sat the absolute first month at the international Olympiad. Tim is no less, our two teams went to beat them on the training ground, there is a chance for that.

Of the Russian teams, the teams of ITMO University, St. Petersburg State University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology showed themselves well. Of the failures to win the rest of the competitions - the team from Australia (University of New Wales) and the strongest, lower earlier, the KTH team from Stockholm. You can also recognize the strong teams from MIT and a few other Chinese universities: Shanghai University of Transportation, Fudan University from Beijing, Beijing University.”
– Andriy Stankevich


Volodymyr Parfyonov means that for some reason the results of the Russian teams, which went to the finals, turned out to be points: the leaders performed consistently good, but the warehouse of the universities-finalists was practically invincible due to the past fate.
Among the Russian finalists are the participants of the old ([stink] and earlier reached the final stage, but not all the roki), the shards to prepare the team, how to go to the final, even more importantly.

If you talk about the region [Pivnichno-Skhidna Europe], then the th season of St. Petersburg State University, ITMO University and Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology - three of the strongest Russian teams, oskolki at MDU, for example, the season is not good. From other lands [regions], Belarusian teams can join us.

World Programming Championship

International Collegiate Programming Contest (ICPC) is the oldest, largest and most prestigious sports programming championship in the world. The campaign has been carried out randomly since 1977 under the umbrella of the Association for Computing Technology (ACM). At the finals of the championship, the teams are participating, as they have passed a lot of stages in the competition at the regional stages.

For the first time in the ICPC championship, including regional tournaments, there were about 50 thousand. the best students-programmers out of about 3 ths. universities, representing 111 countries.

Russian programs are leading in the light of the world already richly rokiv. Since 2000, teams from our country have won over the ICPC 13 times already. Six years, from 2012 to 2017, the world cup was handed over by one to two St. Petersburg teams - St. Petersburg State University and ITMO University, which is the world record for the most champion titles: for the fair of May this cup. The closest foreign superstars, the American Stanford and the Chinese University of Jao Tong, have only three wins.

Teams from the Russian Federation take part in the ICPC from 1993.

Teams of three students under the age of 25 are working at ICPC. The order of the team has only one computer, so, let's use the logic and the vminnya to practice in the hard time frame, the contestants can show skills in mutual modality with the team and competently split the roles. Peremagae team, yak correctly vyrishila the largest number of days and showed the best hour.

All winners of the ICPC win a penny prize: the team of champions - $15 thousand; teams that won gold medals - $7.5 thousand each; silver medalists - $6 thousand each, and teams that took bronze - $3 thousand each.
