Here is a neat little contest that Nvidia is putting out. The winner gets 5 grand.
MP3 LAME Encoder
Encoding MP3s always seem to take longer than it should. Do you wish you can find a way to make the process run faster?
Now there is a way. Enter this Contest by creating a program that will speed up MP3 encoding on a CUDA-enabled GPU, and the winner will receive a US$5,000.00 cash prize, subject to the Official Rules.
The Challenge
Create a MP3 encoder that runs on a CUDA-enabled GPU (click here for a list of CUDA-enabled GPUs) by taking a modified version of LAME as we provide and modify its source code to allow the encoding to be performed on a CUDA-enabled GPU. Your encoder must be created using the CUDA programming environment and must achieve a speedup in run-time.
