For this year's contest, the task is to evaluate batches of database join queries on a set of pre-defined relations. The challenge is to execute the queries as fast as possible without (much) prior indexing. So the time has finally come to unleash your fastest hash table implementations!<p>The top-5 best-ranking undergrad or grad student teams are invited to the 2018 ACM SIGMOD conference in Houston, TX. The winning team will be awarded a prize of USD $7,000, and there will be an additional prize of USD $3,000 for the runner-up.
Awesome contest. Was great fun last year!<p>Was great to improve one's C++ skills.<p>I will definitely participate again this year.
Thanks for sharing!
