CUDA knowledge - does it really increase employee's value?

also look into thrust to counter some of the c-ness.

It is interesting to recall this post after more than 8 years.

So, guys, I was right: CUDA turned out to be not just yet another programming language, it turn out to bea paradigm.

However, not in quantitative finance (which are not anymore so sexy as before) but in AI/ML hype.

BTW, in 2011 I bought NVIDIA stock but sold them prematurely with a modest profit.

Later in 2016 I expected that the NVIDIA stock will halve... and it recently did... but by that time I was the short was also premature ${L_SMILIES_SMILE}$

It is just not that much advantageous with our day to day stuff.

I never find the speed issue that big once I optimise the code and use a speedy machine that I have to look for a way to push it to a gpu.

For real time I heared some people use it instead of fpgas.

I would love to use it for large time series manipulations which are the time consuming parts but then again if I spend time on that recoding I'd better spend it rewriting optimised cpu code.
