CEO of Codeplay, a specialist compiler company in Edinburgh, Scotland. Codeplay is now part of Intel. I also love spending time in the Highlands.
Why is disruptive technology so hard?
I mean: you've invented something that can change the world, so why aren't people throwing cash at you?
I thought I would write about not only my successful experience, but try to help others get through the tough times.

After to crapshoot that was the launch of PVC/Alchemist, things are quite good these days on Intel GPUs.
SYCL looks pretty good.
And when Intel does decide to re-enter the GPGPU market, I expect the software to work.

This is a great list of misconceptions about compilers and explanations of what's really going on and why. These misconceptions are very common: I have had to explain probably all of them more than once. There's one main one missing: compilers are not magic, they follow well-specified engineering
