What it is
Compete on the problems.
ThermoJam is a programming competition in thermodynamic computing: sampling, energy landscapes, p-bits, and the software that sits on them. Teams work a challenge pool against a published scoring sheet.
Challenges
A scored pool
Published problems with base points. Teams pick, solve, and submit. Novelty, efficiency, and elegance carry bonus points.
Teams
Mixed on purpose
Students, scientists, and founders in the same team, formed in ThermoSchool and scored in the Jam.
Day 3
ThermoBattles
A short, optional Q&A on Day 3. Mentors ask teams about the Jam problems. Extra multiplier points are on the table.
