The nice thing will be reading about the final algorithms.. we've actually known most of the details of it since the authors are academics and published papers on their algorithms.. But it will be interesting to hear how they squeezed out the last drops of performance.
mouser:
The contest is now closed and the winner chosen, and WOW it seems like a surprising ending to a surprising contest..
