👉 Tournament computing is a distributed computing paradigm where multiple independent solvers, or "participants," compete in a series of elimination rounds to find the best solution to a computational problem. Each participant solves a sub-problem of the overall task, and the top-ranked solver from each round advances to the next, similar to a single-elimination tournament. This process continues until only one solver remains as the winner, guaranteeing a fair and efficient way to aggregate solutions from diverse sources. Tournament computing is particularly useful for problems where different solvers might have varying strengths or where the problem can be decomposed into independent sub-tasks, enabling parallel processing and leveraging heterogeneous computing resources.
