Originally posted by AtW View PostGpGPUs will get more interesting next year once they get more or less unified memory (without crazy access penalties), and more general CPU-like capabilities - otherwise they are limited in the amount of data they can keep in RAM and you need to be able to feed lots of GPU cores with it doing things that only some tasks can benefit from.
However, if you want a relatively cheap standalone platform that supports unified memory then you could always have a look at one of these...

SDN/NFV, I am having to pay 4 figure day rates for good developers and have a 5 year forecast of several hundred man years. 2015 was the year it went mainstream, now it's nuts.
Telcos are placing big bets on SDN.Comment

GPGPU is still niche but certainly growing. You can get GPU-based servers on demand with Amazon etc which tells you they are in demand, it is becoming quite widely used especially in the scientific community.
@stek; it really is night'n'day. A GPU can quite easily be 1000X times faster than a CPU for dealing with big chunks of repetitive data... for instance GP coding made brute-forcing hash codes easy that were considered basically unbreakable previously.Originally posted by MaryPoppinsI'd still not breastfeed a naziOriginally posted by vetranUrine is quite nourishingComment

SDN / NFV development doesn't happen in London. The players are Cisco, Juniper, ConteXtream, Huawei, Brocade, VMware/Nicira et al. Name one serious player in the Telco space who develops in the UK?
'kin hell, you should know that even VF technology is on the new campus in DUS. Have you ever been to the office behind Paddington? Seen any developers? Or just SAs?
Development positions in carrier technology on Jobserve? You are looking in the wrong place buddy. Find me an SDN developer for £550 who cut his teeth in something like IOS development with 15 years experience. Find me several and I'll make you rich.
$150-175K permie roles in Palo Alto for lowely engineers, which will be with HP who pay below market because they are good to have on your CV in the valley. http://www.indeed.com/salary/q-Sdn-E...-Alto,-CA.htmlLast edited by clearedforlanding; 21 January 2016, 19:46.Comment

The remainder of what you say in that quote seems to be entirely irrelevant, but whatever you found in your Xmas stocking, I wish there'd been some in mine...

One hears of 7 figure salaries being paid in the West Coast of the USA but that is as irrelevant as the nonsense you posted for the simple reason that UK citizens will struggle to get interviews let alone visa's.
"Smokin'" my FHUA.
So my comment stands : kindly take your nonsensical spam jobs posts for jobs that don't really exist to somewheer they belong like, well, like Bobserve for example.
