Hi,
this seems like an interesting project. I have parallel programming experience for more than 3 years (mpi, openmp and others). I also have an engeneering degree (master-level), so I know my math and physics well.
I am willing to do this at this low rate, since I am new to this site and because I have a personal interest in parallel programming.
Please keep in mind, that a speed-up of the performance depends on the target platform.
