Yeah, all of that makes sense. I guess I'm just in search of a problem to work on that would make it worthwhile to learn CUDA :)

- krapht 11y agoIf you are a web developer, you might try WebGL? Same ideas, different packaging focused on graphics. Once you get the hang of it, you've got the language paradigm to understand CUDA, OpenCL, etc. If you write business software... I'm so sorry. But I've heard things about GPU-accelerated SQL queries? I don't know much. I've never programmed a database, ever, except small SQL queries here and there.
- artmageddon 11y agoYeah I tend to work on the latter, trying to get more on the former. I used to work in a color science company, and I wanted to see if it were possible to use CUDA for math optimizations, but the kind we did wasn't all that intense and there wasn't much traction in doing any kind of GPGPU work. I'm back in Finance now and I'm sure there are opportunities for it here, but the amount of red-tape we have here is so ridiculous(i.e. we can't even get source control for our C++ programs we manage). I'll just have to push harder to learn :)
