Speed . Accuracy . Efficiency
Work with Prezi’s engineering team on a real-life problem and get the chance to win $1500!
Join the challenge and help us scale Prezi’s conversion systems! Prezi is available on multiple platforms, so we have to convert some of the uploaded media files to other formats before we can display them on all devices. This conversion happens on virtual machines. The load (and thus the number of virtual machines needed) is very different during peak times and at night. Your task is to write a program which can find the minimum number of VMs we need to run. This contest is for anyone who want to test their knowledge of control and queueing theories on actual, real-life problems.
