I need names. Especially those that don't require a long history of GPU programming or PhD in a related field to even get an interview. Bonus points if they're not a startup that is about to fail and is desperate to hire anyone who wants work on cool stuff for free while it lasts. Even better if they have a business model that is not cryptocurrency, HFT or just hoping to get acquired.
Yes, I'm more than a bit disillusioned with the field. We could do much better if there hadn't been some people who made a lot of money on the "move fast and break things" or "nobody got fired for buying X" attitudes. I was trying to communicate those things as if they were commonly accepted attitudes but not really true. I think I failed. Sarcasm never works on the Internet.
I see, I hear you. Well, all the FAANG companies have high performance dev groups that dabble with GPU. Games companies all do GPU, plus any team doing graphics. Neural network jobs at AI companies are around but more likely to require the history & PhD, and land in the startup category. First place I did any GPU work for my job was WebGL at LucidChart (a web app competitor to Visio). AMD, Apple, Sony, Nvidia and anyone else making GPU or SIMD units have tons of jobs and you can likely start with something close to what you currently do and transition toward more high performance programming. I dunno if that’s at all helpful, but sorry about the disillusionment, I know that can be difficult to deal with.
