CoreWar "Koenigstuhl" Page

This hill is named after the location of the place where I worked (Max-Planck-Institute for Astronomy) until 1997 ('Koenigstuhl' translates to 'King's Chair'). Similar to Planar's Mt.Olympus (last update: 1998-08-31) this is an infinite hill. The difference is that I separated the hill into several categories and I let every program fight every other program:

88 ('88 instruction set): TOP-50: Top 50 of the 88-Koenigstuhl
94nop ('94 instruction set, no Pspace, no '88 programs): TOP-50: Top 50 of the 94nop-Koenigstuhl
Pspace (Pspace-only): TOP-50: Top 50 of the Pspace-Koenigstuhl

ICWS/64 (CORESIZE==8192 && MAXPROCESSES==64)
ICWS (CORESIZE==8192 && MAXPROCESSES==8000)

Limited Process (MAXPROCESSES==8 && MAXLEN==200)
X (CORESIZE==55440 && MAXLEN==200 && MAXCYC==500000)
Tiny (CORESIZE==800 && MAXLEN==20 && MAXCYC==8000)
Nano (CORESIZE==80 && MAXLEN==5 && MAXCYC==800)
Odd Hill (non-competitive, special tournament rule sets)

88-TOP-50 Hill, "-8 -P", '88 rules (15602 rounds)

Any program that reaches rank-50 or higher on the '88-Koenigstuhl will also enter the TOP-50 Koenigstuhl. Programs that fall below rank-50 on both ('88 and TOP-50) hills will be removed from the TOP-50 Koenigstuhl.

Note: "-P" (randomizing all possible starting positions) will not make the battles reproducible, because the order of the fights makes a difference with P-space.

Pspace-TOP-50 Hill, "-P", Pspace ok (15602 rounds)

Any program that reaches rank-50 or higher on the "full" hill will also enter the TOP-50 hill. Programs that fall below rank-50 on both hills will be removed from the TOP-50 Koenigstuhl.

Recursive X-Koenigstuhl

I switched to pmars-0.9.4 and a 32-bit (little endian) score table (was 16-bit and pmars-0.9.2).

Please note that I did not create a Battle Royale hill, since running all permutations (-P switch) on the 'X' hill would take quite some time; maybe later ...

If you cannot find your program(s) here, please send your program to ccbirk AT gmail DOT com with a subject line like 'Koenigstuhl entry'. Please note that the Koenigstuhl is an "archive" hill, ie. published programs only. If you would like to see how your program would do on the Koenigstuhl before you publish it, please download the appropriate hill and run your program against it.
