Watching some youtube videos on supercomputing is always a good way to follow the current trends.
Most of our client base uses C# for computing large scale calculation applications. But for the true heavy-duty computations there is really no alternative to C++ on Linux, including from a career perspective. So you will probably delve into g++ and possibly also clang for the extra debugging messages.
A solid understanding of how databases operate and a ready knowledge of how database performance can be increased is also required.
Finally, if you have an nVidia GPU card, there is CUDA for parallelising your application. Else - going really high end - you may have a coprocessor from Intel, such as the Xeon Phi. That in turn requires its own Intel compiler / debugger, which also readily supports parallelism.

IIR(4)							   BSD Kernel Interfaces Manual 						    IIR(4)

NAME

     iir -- Intel Integrated RAID controller and ICP Vortex driver

SYNOPSIS

     To compile this driver into the kernel, place the following lines in your kernel configuration file:

	   device pci
	   device scbus
	   device iir

     Alternatively, to load the driver as a module at boot time, place the following line in loader.conf(5):

	   iir_load="YES"

DESCRIPTION

     The iir driver claims to interface with the Intel integrated RAID controller cards, and all versions of the ICP Vortex controllers (including
     FC).

HARDWARE

     Controllers supported by the iir driver include:

     o	 Intel RAID Controller SRCMR
     o	 Intel Server RAID Controller U3-l (SRCU31a)
     o	 Intel Server RAID Controller U3-1L (SRCU31La)
     o	 Intel Server RAID Controller U3-2 (SRCU32)
     o	 All past and future releases of Intel and ICP RAID Controllers.

     o	 Intel RAID Controller SRCU21 (discontinued)
     o	 Intel RAID Controller SRCU31 (older revision, not compatible)
     o	 Intel RAID Controller SRCU31L (older revision, not compatible)

     The SRCU31 and SRCU31L can be updated via a firmware update available from Intel.
