Win 5000$ by coding fastest MP3 encoding on a CUDA-enabled GPU

Posted in software by spacer on the May 22nd, 2008

Seems like parallel programming is getting practical now. With 240 stream processors coming in new graphics cards… seems like programmers should start looking in this niche  programming as well.

    I dont want specialized graphic card.. i want to code for GPU which lot of ppl got on their machines nvidias 8xxx and new 240 260 are such GPUs so it makes more sense to code for them.
    ATI is good as well but still dont have VISTAnor w2k8 drivers supporting parallelism anabled coding.:(
