There are lots of vendors to contact (including the one I work for :)  ).

Can you say a little more about the application? 2D FFT's? 3D FFT's?
Is the code parallelized via MPI or OpenMP or both? Is the code written
with CUDA? How many cores or processes are used per run?

Does he need to write additional code? Which compilers do they
use or like?

How large are the input/output files?

Thanks!
