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 dramatically increase the speed of its FUN3D aircraft design software.
- The agency aims to make the Modern Fortran-based application run 10,000 times faster, offering $55,000 in prizes for programmers who can identify and optimize performance bottlenecks.
- Accelerating FUN3D is crucial for enhancing NASA's multi-stage aircraft research and development process, which heavily relies on computational fluid dynamics.
