NVIDIA Corporation (Santa Clara, CA) launched its inaugural CUDA Coding Contest, designed to seek out the most talented CUDA programmers in the world. The competition challenges C programmers to optimize 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 a partially GPU-optimized version of an MP3 LAME encoder. They will then need to modify that code to gain further performance increases using the massively parallel architecture of the GPU. The encoder must be created in the CUDA programming environment and must achieve a speed up in run-time.
to register and get coding, visit CUDA Zone or contact NVIDIA.
