I wrote a Bloom Filter for college in CUDA in 2009. My advisor was a former Nvidia guy. I then went on to not do any GPU programming at all in my career.
I probably could have made $100,000,000 if I had made a different choice there.

- ricardo81 1y agoImprobable considering it was a CS idea in 1970. Surely every idea for GPGPU was fair game. I wrote a hashcash implementation on a GPU 10 years ago. Pretty sure it's valueless now.
- collingreen 1y agoI think their implication is not that they weote a $100M one off but instead that if they had stayed in GPU programming they could now be making the proverbial big bucks in the current ai boom
- anitil 1y agoI ported a machine learning algorithm to CUDA for my honours project, shrugged my shoulders and went into embedded programming
- moralestapia 1y agoSame here. I'm quite sure I wrote one of the first GPU optimized bioinformatics toolkits ... out of curiosity, on a GeForce 8, using CUDA v1(!) back in 2009. Then went on to do other things ... missed the big bux.
