NASA wants its FUN3D software, the application its engineers use to design aircraft and airfoils, to run 10,000 times faster, and is asking for anyone with working knowledge of the Modern Fortran software language to take up the High Performance Fast Computing Challenge.
NASA Offering $55,000 in Prize Money to Improve Aircraft Design Software
Key Takeaways:
- NASA has launched the "High Performance Fast Computing Challenge" to make its FUN3D aircraft design software run 10,000 times faster.
- The challenge invites Modern Fortran experts to identify and fix performance bottlenecks in the FUN3D code.
- NASA is offering $55,000 in prizes for the best solutions, recognizing the importance of this speedup for its aircraft design and research processes.
- Contestants must be at least 18 years old, and due to government ownership, the FUN3D code is subject to export restrictions.
