Divide and Conquer Challenge!
Attention linear algebra, computer science, engineering, maths, physics & optimization experts!
Freelancer.com just launched the Divide and Conquer Challenge in partnership with USBureau of Reclamation and NASA Tournament Lab. In this challenge, you will be asked to optimize their sparse linear equation solver in their computational fluid dynamics models, with the chance to win your share of US$300,000 in cash prizes.
The challenge will be split into two stages, with cash prizes ranging from $15,000 to $40,000 for 1st to 4th place in the first stage of the LESMS Challenge and prize money of $115,000 and 85 $000 for 1st and 2nd place in the second phase Parallèle Défi SSR 2D!
Join us for Phase 1 and submit your existing new or adapted parallel or parallelizable LESMS and a demonstration of its performance.
Why you should enter this exciting competition:
💰 a total prize pool of 300,000 USD
💸 multiple prizes
🌎 potential for your ideas to be implemented in the real world
💻 potential to work with the United States UnitedGovernment
👍 full ownership of your ideas after the contest
and more 🔥
Who can participate?
To participate in phase 1, you will need to create or adapt an existing parallelized or parallelizable LESMS and demonstrate its performance. Phase 1 applications will be judged on stability, convergence, and parallelism with scalable acceleration. Your solver should be written in Fortran and run on a multi-core Windows desktop PC. Additionally, GPU acceleration or other acceleration methods will also be considered, including any innovative LESMS solution. GPU code must be written in CUDA Fortran or OpenCL with a Fortran wrapper.
Up to four of the top solutions meeting the requirements will receive a portion of the $100,000 prize pool.If less than four solutions are selected for a prize, the prize money will be redistributed among the actual number of winners.
All Phase 1 competitors who meet or exceed benchmark stability, convergence, and parallel speedup values qualify to compete in Phase 2.
