According to the forecasts of NVIDIA head, in the near several years the productivity of graphic chips will grow faster than the productivity of central processors. In order to use this computational power, NVIDIA actively stimulates the development of applications for CUDA platform , which allow to accelerate calculations using video chip.
NVIDIA company will sponsor the Marathons on programming CUDA superhero challenge, the first of which will start from September 15 to 29. Participants in the contest must solve certain tasks in programming, using the possibilities of CUDA platform and computational resources of NVIDIA video chip.
The prize for the first stage Marathon will be $5000, which will be divided between five conquerors.
