[music-dsp] LAME mp3 encoder contest on GPUs (CUDA)

[Bob Grove]

Is it my imagination or is Nvidia trying to get an important product
implementation for next to nothing but running a "contest"?

How many people could live on the "possibility" of getting $5000 dollars by
optimizing an audio compression encoder on a graphics chip?
