The competition covered 8 divisions according to the region of universities, including three phases such as regional preliminary, regional semi-final and global final, and attracting 27,847 students from nearly 1,000 universities around the world to participate. Among them, four teams composed of students from the University of Electronic Science and Technology of China, Sichuan University, Chongqing University and Chongqing University of Posts and Telecommunications stood out to compete for the global championship on behalf of Chengdu-Chongqing Division.

The topic of this Code Craft came from a production scenario that Huawei actually faced, namely the optimization of resource planning and scheduling on cloud, because excellent optimization algorithms can not only save hundreds of millions of operating costs for cloud operators, but also provide customers with a more stable and smooth cloud experience. The topic required participants to design complete scheduling strategies for purchasing servers, placing virtual machines, and pricing games based on different servers, virtual machines, and order requirements for a certain period of time, so that to reduce cloud operating costs and increase profitability. The “Casual and Elegant” Team won the first place in both the semi-final and final phases. In the pricing game of the final, the Team won the global championship with a profit of 600 million yuan more than the second place. (Translated by Zhang Ying, Fathom Language Limited)
