Per-product registration fee is $2,000 and is not refundable. Registration fee is a part of the participation fee. See the deadlines page for registration dates.

The total participation fee depends on product peak request rate and on the time of payment as detailed by the rules below:

1. Maximum per-client load level is set at 400 req/sec
2. Each participant must declare maximum request rate when registering (R)
3. At the cache-off, a participant is guaranteed to have enough client-server pairs to generate R
4. Extra pairs might be available, but are not guaranteed
5. If full registration fee is received by Aug 18th, the fee is the maximum of
   • $2000
   • $400 * [ R / 100 ]
6. If full registration fee is received after Aug 18th, the fee is the maximum of
   • $2000
   • $500 * [ R / 100 ]
7. Entries that are not paid in full by Sep 18th may not be tested
8. The value of R is not reported; only the actual achieved rate is reported
