http://synchrogrid.com | College Station TX | ONSITE

SynchroSoft (the software division of SynchroGrid) is looking for a senior software team member with excellent UI / front end development skills and passion for science, engineering, and visualization. We are developing software and algorithmic expertise to ensure the reliability of the electrical power grid as it continues towards renewables and distributed power generation. This position requires onsite work (we do allow some work from home), no applications for remote work will be considered.

The team member in this position will provide leadership in the front end of our software products (we use a modern web stack with HTML/CSS, JS, React, D3, Electron) and be responsible for maintaining code architecture, driving UI innovation, and implementing new program features. The best candidates will have more than just the technical skills, including a demonstrated ability to work in teams, manage their time, and deliver excellence.

Fran gave a talk when I interned at TJ Watson one summer. Her stories of the early days of compilers were beyond fascinating and made it clear how much we all now were just building on ideas they established decades ago.

Later, my wife was the first to receive the IBM PhD fellowship established in Fran's honor. Fran awarded it to her at a conference (Grace Hopper I think) and of course was gracious, offering to help as your career moved forward. Thankful for that investment in our future.

Fair point, but my wife and I bough at $1600 sqft home on a nice large lot in a decent neighb when we were in grad school (College Station, TX). We paid $120K and had P+I of $400. Sure, taxes added a couple hundred bucks, but it was still a fraction of California. We interviewed at Livermore labs during that time and the same home was about $1M.

We stayed here (she still at university as a professor), and I left to co-found a startup. Still pretty cheap real estate, affluent & educated population (of all political leanings), and endless supply of smart folks to hire. And BBQ. I'll take it.

Though I love California too, just returned from a week in Big Sur and then the wine country. It's just must cheaper to visit :)

It really is best to come experience it in person. Yes, there's always stupid people doing stupid things anywhere and it's certainly a conservative state, but people are generally much more tolerant and intelligent than the stereotypes.

The stereotypes are hilarious. I'm a computer scientist and spent 9 months at IBM's TJ Watson facility up in New York outside the city. Every person I contacted to rent a room from made a point to tell me that I'd have to leave my horse at home because they didn't have a stable. They uniformly were shocked in disbelief when I explained I owned no horses, no cowboy hat, no boots. The horror...

Welcome to the Lone Star State! Cheap real estate and friendly folks. And BBQ, metric tons of BBQ...
Mikael Persson on the clang mailing list picked this up some time back and updated it.

http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.compilers.clang.devel/35...

He cleaned it up and extended to work with callgrind. Looking at this data in kcachegrind is beautiful thing.
