What is "Native zero padding to model open systems"? And how come it is "up to 2x faster than simply padding input array with zeros"?

So you can pad your input array with zeros, but the algorithm doesn't know that it's padded, and will just compute with those zeros like any other value. If you could tell it that they were zeros it could take advantage of x*0=0 and x+0=x to significantly reduce computation. That's what I think that is.

I think this guy will have no problem getting hired. Being conscious enough to push code online works so much better than the CV preparation courses. You know you're on the right path when you are asked to play up your CV abstract than to downplay it.

Personally, I would have a hard time hiring anyone without a Github account and less so working in a place where nobody has one.

If I were a hiring person at AMD or Intel, I'd shortlist this guy for a job, as they need help competing against the headstart CUDA has in the GPU-base compute space.

Ya, but the important question is can they invert a binary tree on a whiteboard?

... or are leetcode-proficient, these days.
