Burton Smith, Cray co-founder and Microsoft technical fellow, dies at 77
- linksnapzz 9y agoHow sad! I saw him give a talk on parallel languages in scientific computing; he talked about ZPL and what would become Cray's Chapel language in time. This was about the time the X-1 && MTA-2 came out, the latter a successor to the original Tera Inc. system. There's a section of the UW ZPL page that has his and Dottie's crab fettucine on it as well: http://research.cs.washington.edu/zpl/pasta/crab-fettucine.html http://research.cs.washington.edu/zpl/pasta/crab-fettucine.h...
