comp.arch intern?
Andy Glew
Are there any students out there, reading comp.arch, interested in
interning with me, Andy Glew, at Intel Oregon? A guy I work with has
the req but hasn't found any student to fill it, and has offered it to
me.
It's probably too late for this summer, if for no other reason than
that I will be in New Zealand for much of it - but late summer, fall
are possibilities.
I can't say what we would be working on. The project that I have in
mind is pretty darned interesting, but, this being Intel, I may well
be working on something completely different, in Siberia, before any
intern came on board.
Requirements:
* interest in computer architecture
* not just what they teach you in school
* not just the latest fads in universities
- what I'm working on will probably be a fad
5-10 years from now
* programming ability
* C++
* Perl
* twiki
* version control
* industrial quality programming
I'd rather take a good programmer and make him or her into a computer
architect, than take a computer architect who is a bad programmer.
Extra points for people at universities from Silicon Valley north to
BC, where further collaboration would be more likely.

Wow! An internship that will probably be worth something. I had
somewhat recently interviewed some recent college grads that had
internships that were basically doing gruntwork running QA test scripts.
Since they hadn't actually done any programming in the internship, it
was impossible to determine whether they could program very well. Since
the main point of an internship was to show you could actually do a job,
people were wasting their time doing those kind of internships. Unless
of course they were looking for work running, not writing, QA scripts.

Geez, a reason to actually go get a graduate degree. Unfortunately, I can't
afford the poor student life style anymore...
