Which function grows faster?

LaTeX Code: n^n

or

LaTeX Code: \\prod_{r=0}^{n-1}\\left(\\begin{array}{c}\\sum_{j\\leq r}\\left(\\begin{array}{c}n\\\\ j\\end{array}\\right)\\\\2^r\\end{array}\\right)

Asymptotically, I mean.

Re: Which function grows faster?

Since
LaTeX Code: \\prod_{r=0}^{n-1}{{\\sum_{j<r}{n\\choose j}}\\choose{2^r}}={0\\choose1}\\prod_{r=1}^{n-1}{{\\sum_{j<r}{n\\choose j}}\\choose{2^r}}=0
I'd have to go with LaTeX Code: n^n .
