The organisers and competitors combined have performed 26832 measurement in just short of two months. At the end of April we released the competition rules and associated code for the desired signal and interferer, this lead to a clear increase. As the competition was getting nearer an exponential increase of measurements is clearly visible. The little flat part in the weekend before the IMS is possibly due to travel of the competitors.

The measurement setup was made specifically for this IMS SDC DPD competition and is no longer available. Thank you for making use of it, either for the competition, general interest or for your own research. In this short period, close to 27 thousand measurements have been performed.

At 9:30 EDT (15:30 Swedish) the system will be placed in competition mode and will only be available to the team actively competing in their time-slot.

As we do some final preparations for the competitions today, the system is offline for about 30-60 minutes. Around 9:15 10:30 AM Swedish time it should be back.

With the competition only a few days away, it would be interesting to look at the growth of the number of measurements performed vs time. All combined now about 22000 measurements have been made since early April. There are some clear trends visible, with exponential growth as the competition draws closer.

Please be aware that the measurement setup will be dismantled immediately after the competition ends on June 9th. On June 9th, access to the setup will be limited solely to competitors. If you are currently using this setup for your research, we ask that you ensure all measurements are completed before June 9th.

Since the competition is now less than two weeks away, late registration is closed.

Even though the website reports the system is down, it is actually working. Unfortunately, it is responding much slower than typical. Normally the round trip time is in the order of seconds. Now it seems to take over a minute. To be investigated.
The system has several automatic recovery mechanisms, it looks like all is working fine again. Most likely the cause was a short network outage.
There is an issue with the system status indicator, it is not updating properly, even though the system reports down, the system is mostly up and running. To be further investigated at the end of May.
