About the Event
The Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) Sedimentation and River Hydraulics (SRH) Group and Freelancer.com are hosting a webinar about the Divide and Conquer Challenge. The $300,000.00 USD Divide and Conquer Challenge seeks solutions to improve the execution speed of models that simulate flow hydraulics and sediment transport in rivers and reservoirs. Â
The webinar is an opportunity for you to learn:
- The background of the challenge
- What Reclamation is seeking in the solutions
- How to participate in the challenge
- Live Q&A with Reclamation
Challenge details: The Reclamation SRH Group is looking for solutions to improve how quickly engineers can model flow hydraulics and sediment transport in rivers and reservoirs. If you can create a parallel linear equation sparse matrix solver (LESMS) that runs on a multi-core Windows desktop PC, is more stable than the current Reclamation solver, and achieves scalable parallel speedup, you could win your share of the Phase 1 $100,000 prize. If you can parallelize Reclamation’s 2D model, incorporating your LESMS and achieving scalable parallel speedup, you could win a share of another $200,000 prize in Phase 2.
