Contest Brief

Attached is a c# class that generates 10 million doubles, saves it to disk and retrieves it. We will award the prize to the entrant that can make the read the fastest. Obviously it will have to be faster than ours, and the fastest wins. NOTE: We will look at the read time, not the write time. You may need to change the write methodology to read better, but the main goal is the read.

Employer Feedback

“Almost as immodest as he is skilled. Mario is great to work with, charismatic, on the ball and I guess the best in the world. That's why he won and that's why I recommend him without reservation. ”

      Yes, why did you shortened the deadline, I have a solution, but I wanted to optimize it little more before the deadline, so I did not send it. You could have announced that the deadline would be shortened.
