Excellent, amazing article.

To the author, if you're lurking here, I have a tangential question- how long did it take you to write this article? From first line of code to the last line of this post?

As someone who works in GPGPU space, I can imagine myself writing an article of this sort. But the huge uncertainty around time needed has deterred me so far.



Why not give it a shot and see how it goes? You should be able to have some idea if you want to proceed within an hour or two.


I'd say this was a bit over 3 weeks of full time coding, learning, and writing this blog post spread out over 1.5+ months. Someone with GPGPU/CUDA experience would've been able to do it faster. But I'd echo the other commenters here - just try writing some content and see if it works for you!
