They're giving you a chance to win $15k and all it takes is delivering a 1000x speedup improvement to software that runs on a 250k CPU cluster?

I'll pass, but hopefully someone else can do this as a labor of love.

Yes, except you are not allowed to run the software on their cluster, instead you are expected to run it on your own machine.
