In you're in it for the money, then forget about HPC and the mathy stuff, unless you've a PhD in the application domain, no one will bother with you, even if you write CUDA at 120 wpm.

The real money is in mastering PTX, nvcc, cuobjdump, Nsight Systems, and Nsight Compute. CUTLASS is good open source code base to explore - start here https://christianjmills.com/series/notes/cuda-mode-notes.htm...

most importantly, stay off HN, get on Discord gpu mode, where real coders are: https://discord.com/invite/gpumode

Just curious, if I'm only interested in the programming/architecture side, but not the domain, is it even possible to get deep? I figured that historically, people like Cray probably did not work on or super interested in the domain of HPC?

It may be cool and real but sounds like very niche domain. Which means there are very few people and places. Mostly gaming industry and drivers. Starting from zero level and getting there in one step will be hard. One should be really, really smart for this.
