I am thinking about combining ML and Computer Engineering/VLSI.
G5, TC ~105000
You should research: "performance improvements without speculative execution." Thank me later
True that. But I am trying to diversify more into ML. Maybe using ML in speculative execution ? Might sound silly. Just throwing off ideas
Isn't that pretty close to what branch predictors does now?
It’s not a good time to do a PhD now. Job market is very good. Learn ML on your own and transition to that at work, or through a job switch. Do your PhD when the bust happens.
Thanks for the suggestion but I think personally in my case I would prioritize studies over cashing in good job market earnings for the short term.
Yes but think what happens if the crash happens right after you graduate. You’ll be screwed. Unless you are thinking of going for faculty positions after, in which case you have to do it totally differently.
This. Make money now. Go back to school during a recession.
He is not making money now. He can easily triple his comp. with a SWE role
I actually gave up a job at Intel to go to school for a PhD. You should look at pursuing one in your broad area of expertise - like VLSI. The exact specifics such as using ML only gets worked out a few years into the research program.
Intel pays for MS in relevant field. Even a PhD possibly. Given how Intel designs chips, it will def be a major grind working and going to school - specially if you are on a critical project
Have a company pay for your masters/PhD is the pro way :)
How many years at Intel? Why TC so low?
2 years at Intel.
Fm5 fourth floor? =]
Dude, it doesn't work like this around here. First you tell us your grade, job and TC. Then we help you.
Lol
Haha
