This looks like an extremely interesting challenge... too bad I don't qualify to participate :

"Nasa is seeking help from coders to speed up the software it uses to design experimental aircraft.
It is running a competition that will share $55,000 (£42,000) between the top two people who can make its FUN3D software run up to 10,000 times faster.
The FUN3D code is used to model how air flows around simulated aircraft in a supercomputer."
The software was developed in the 1980s and is written in an older computer programming language called Fortran.
