Why do you say that. Seems like picking the correct data
structure/algorithms would be of more importance than the
programming language. I don't see why this couldn't be made
'fast' with just about any programming language.
1. It is a basic spatial indexing problem. This is a heavily
researched GIS area.
2. They list the hardware.
But, they are cheating you: «All submissions will become
public-domain DLLs.» + «prize money will be awarded to the three
fastest solutions that are quicker than our fast solution.»
They are basically trying to get "master-level students" to do
highly valuable work for "peanuts" in order to improve their own
commercial systems... :-/
