I did quite a lot of CUDA, algorithms, and parallel computing in general during my university time. I wrote my Master’s thesis on GPGPU. This was before it was applied to crypto mining or AI. I was supposed to stay at the Uni and do PhD in GPGPU, but eventually accepted a much better paid entry-level job at a company and, subsequently, I haven’t touched low-level programming since graduating and moving on to coding in Java/.Net/SQL, etc.
Over a decade has passed and you can imagine the level of my 20/20 FOMO frustration for not having carried on with the more advanced engineering stuff.
So my questions is: what resources and what direction would you recommend for someone like myself to narrow that gap of 10 years, such that I could hopefully apply for an interesting job in the field sometime 12 months from now? I am absolutely aware it would take a lot of studying, especially on AI/ML maths and algorithms.
Perhaps someone has already been in a similar situation and can share their experience?
I will much appreciate any input here!
