NASA needs your help to speed up its supercomputer code

Feeling ambitious? If so, NASA's got a challenge for you.

If you know how to program computers (otherwise this will be damn near impossible), the agency's encouraging you to participate in the High Performance Fast Computing Challenge (HPFCC).

What the heck is that? Well, essentially, the NASA-sponsored competition will reward expert programers who are able to speed up the agency's FUN3D design software.

FUN3D is used for solving nonlinear partial differential equations, and the challenge — which is being supported by NASA's partners, HeroX and TopCoder — encourages computer whizzes to assist NASA in improving the code so that it can become compatible with some of the most advanced, fastest supercomputers in the world.
