I agree completely that there is no way to enforce computational limits over the internet.
I am against ‘identical hardware’ tournaments because people have worked to get their programs working on the hardware they have, and some people will be on the other side of any hardware decision, Mac v.s. PC being the most obvious. I am left wondering what the point is for such a tournament. Is it to show who is the most efficient programmer? Is it to show how these programs might run on somebody’s home computer? These things are not important for research code that is not intended for resale.
