Project: Nvidia Tesla parallelization and other optimizations

Requirements: Student must be able to work within the unusually 
stringest constraints of the FFmpeg team; student also must purchase 
US$1600 piece of hardware, forsaking school tuition and food budgets if 
necessary.

At least we wouldn't have cause to doubt their commitment to the task.
