Bloom Filters by Example

I wrote a Bloom Filter for college in CUDA in 2009. My advisor was a former Nvidia guy. I then went on to not do any GPU programming at all in my career.

I probably could have made $100,000,000 if I had made a different choice there.

Could have also bought Bitcoin and made a lot more... just saying.

Improbable considering it was a CS idea in 1970. Surely every idea for GPGPU was fair game.

I wrote a hashcash implementation on a GPU 10 years ago. Pretty sure it's valueless now.

I ported a machine learning algorithm to CUDA for my honours project, shrugged my shoulders and went into embedded programming

I think their implication is not that they weote a $100M one off but instead that if they had stayed in GPU programming they could now be making the proverbial big bucks in the current ai boom

Same here.

I'm quite sure I wrote one of the first GPU optimized bioinformatics toolkits ... out of curiosity, on a GeForce 8, using CUDA v1(!) back in 2009.

Then went on to do other things ... missed the big bux.
