I agree completely that there is no way to enforce computational limits over

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.
There is no "Mac hardware".
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.
I'm also against identical hardware restrictions, but divisions can be
very flexible. Not everyone cares for research and you wouldn't be using
open tournaments for research results either way.
