Military Applications of High-Performance Computing


I write software for parallel processors at a hardware/software company you've heard of. I am located in California but many of my coworkers are located in China (roughly half the team).

We are directly affected by the American government's severe new CPU/GPU export restrictions.

It seems to me that America is preparing for a period of cold war, or worse.

It's time to start thinking about contributing to the American war effort by writing high-performance military computing systems.

For example, SIMD particle filters for hypersonic weapons, or low-latency convolutional neural networks for battlefield devices.

So, Hacker News: What company is the best place to do this work? What team?

Does anyone here already work in this field?

It is called YOLO.
