More details are available on the Topcoder homepage.

The competition will award the best applications both in terms of degree of parallelism obtained, in terms of overall speed-up, and in terms of programming style.

Submissions should be mailed to gecco2009@gpgpgpu.com no later than June 23, 2009. The final scores will be announced during GECCO. More information is available at the following sites.

Entrants must submit (1) the application source code with instructions to compile it and (2) a two-page description of the application. Submissions will be reviewed by a committee of researchers from the evolutionary computation community and from industry. Each reviewer will score the submission according to 12 criteria concerning the submitted algorithm, the speed-up it achieves, and its impact on the evolutionary computation community. The total score will be obtained as the weighted sum of the 12 separate scores.

Of interest to GPGPU readers is the runner up entry by Eyal Teler called “retro”, which implements the classic game “Frogger” entirely in pixel shaders. The game is designed to run on ATI GPUs.
