Encountered intel engineers

To CodeOptimization, and give full play to the advantages of hardware, old people want to use intel compiler. So, in order to do some preliminary testing work, I spent a day in the lab with Intel engineers. Not so much as me and him, but I spent most of my time with him watching him skillfully operate various tools such as VI and grep in Linux in front of the computer, ten fingers dance on the keyboard, and countless characters flash on the screen. I am really dumbfounded when I just got into the road. Only occasionally, you can insert two comments. He can feel that he has a deep understanding of the CPU and operating system, especially in terms of compilation and optimization. For example, he said inline optimization and sse2 optimization, but I just know it. During the rest, he also took out a blackberry and looked at it. It wasn't just like receiving text messages or emails, but it was a bit it Al. When I had dinner with my colleagues after work, everyone agreed that this person was very good, but he was not very talkative. He often worked on his own in front of the computer. I think, ProgramThis is the virtue of most people. It seems that he is no older than me. I don't know if I can reach his present level in a few years?
