I recall years ago there was some kind of competition in implementing full C++ parser/front-end and standard library, or something like that, allegedly organized by nvidia.
Maybe you're thinking of cppgm.org — the "C++ Grandmaster Certification"?

Nothing to do with Nvidia, though.
Exactly! I believe there were rumors suggesting Nvidia involvement, but it was never confirmed.
I wonder what the outcome was, did anyone become a "Certified C++ Grandmaster"?
