Want to earn some cash while programming in C? Well, here is your chance!
Nvidia has launched CUDA coding contest to test your C coding talent on CUDA. The CUDA Toolkit is a C language development environment for CUDA-enabled GPUs made by Nvidia.
Following is the current challenge according to Nvidia CUDA Coding Contest website.
Create a MP3 encoder that runs on a CUDA-enabled GPU by taking a modified version of LAME as we provide and modify its source code to allow the encoding to be performed on a CUDA-enabled GPU. Your encoder must be created using the CUDA programming environment and must achieve a speedup in run-time.
In short users will be need to create a program that will speed up MP3 encoding on a CUDA-enabled GPU.
All entries will be tested using the same sound file on a single PC running Linux and the winner will receive US$5,000.00 cash prize.
Last date for submission of entries is 25th July, 2008.
