NVIDIA announces contest for CUDA developers

NVIDIA is a waste of time to try more momentum for its line of high performance graphics processors and CUDA technology acquisition. The combination of the two solutions are designed to improve performance in applications that normally rely on CPU performance. For this reason announced graphics chip Maker recently that it will work with TopCoder, a competitive software development community, CUDA Superhero Challenge. This event is designed as a
series of competitions for programmers who will benefit from parallel processing with NVIDIA's CUDA architecture to solve some of the biggest challenges computer.

"PC architecture has evolved from only the central processing unit CPU co-processing on the CPU and GPU," said Sanford Russell, head of the group for NVIDIA CUDA. "By using the TopCoder community, we train over 200,000 programmers in parallel programming and offers advantages in blow GPU computing revolution. "

According to nVidia, will start the first match on 14 September and ends on 25 September. It is open to all eligible developers who participate in U.S. $ 5000 worth of prizes, which will be awarded to five winners. The company says that the contest winners will be announced on NVIDIA GPU Technology Conference, held in San Jose, California, from 30 September to 2 October 2009.

"We have the largest competitive software development community with more than 200 countries, and they are eager to show their talents in one of the fastest growing areas in the planning industry," said Rob Hughes, President and Chief Operating Officer at TopCoder. "We expect CUDA Superhero Challenge many creative approaches to solving computer will create challenges and will result in game changing innovations. "
