Last day NVIDIA and TopCoder launched the first contest in the CUDA SuperHero Challenge.
The first contest challenges participants to compete on the highest performing solutions to Image Processing using GPU Accelerated Connected Component Labeling. CCL is a simple, but computationally intensive and high performance image processing is the foundation of many applications including machine vision, real time object recognition, security and many other applications.
TopCoder is a large developer community of over 200,000 members of which over 32,000 have been active participants in the last 90 days. Anyone can register to be a TopCoder to participate in the CUDA SuperHero Challenge.
Contestants around the world will be competing for some hard cash – and also the opportunity to be TopCoders first CUDA SuperHeroes. The challenge is simple to understand and in fact simple to get a first implementation up and running but winning will take plenty of CUDA skill as the challenge will exercise most of the performance driven CUDA optimization techniques.
In just the first couple of hours, there are over 100 registrants already and we expect many more will join in the next few days as many more TopCoders attended the special CUDA Webinars which have been conducted over the last two weeks.
Please let your friends and contacts know about this exciting contest – anyone can enter (except for the usual limitations – no NVIDIAN’s etc.) - totally free to enter, and basically the fastest five entries will give the cash.
The winners will be announced at GTC at the end of this month.
