I'm looking for interesting project to work on during Google Summer of Code. So I found [1]"A data parallel physics engine" ticket and got excited about it. I'd like to know interested mentors and community opinion about the complexity of such project.

A bit offtopic but slightly related: I just added a GSoC project proposal about adding a nVidia CUDA backend to Data Parallel Haskell: http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/summer-of-code/ticket/1537

It would be great if this physics engine or matrix library could run on a CUDA enabled nVidia "graphics" card!

Note there's already a project at UNSW, with a PhD student attached, doing an nvidia CUDA backend to Data Parallel Haskell. Perhaps this could be factored in somehow? At least there's a source of mentors here.
