Graphics company Nvidia has launched its inaugural
Cuda
Coding Contest designed to seek out the most talented Cuda programmers in
the world.
Cuda is Nvidia's C language environment that provides access to the
processing power of the GPUs found on Nvidia graphics cards.
The competition challenges C programmers to optimise an MP3 encoder to run as
fast as possible on a Cuda-enabled GPU.
Contestants wishing to put their coding skills to the test will be provided
with the source code of a partially GPU-optimised version of an MP3 Lame
encoder.
They will then need to modify that code in the Cuda programming environment
to gain further performance increases using the massively parallel architecture
of the GPU. They must achieve the biggest speed up in run-time possible.
All submissions will be tested using the same sound file on a single PC
running Linux.
The deadline for submissions is 25 July 2008 and the programmer who develops
the fastest encoder will receive a $5,000 cash prize.
