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 accelerate its FUN3D aircraft design software by 10,000 times.
- The challenge invites Modern Fortran programmers to identify and resolve performance bottlenecks within the FUN3D code.
- A total of $55,000 in prize money is offered for solutions that significantly improve the software's speed, aiding NASA's research efforts.
- Participants must be at least 18 years old, and due to U.S. government ownership, the FUN3D code is subject to export restrictions.
