Only tangentially related to the article but... I'm left to wonder about the photograph selected. His left hand appears to be on a stack of 20-year old HP 9000s (maybe rp3440, pre-grey box?), and standing across from a rack full of ancient 4U systems mounted into 2-post relay racks. The white blanking panels are early 2000's-era HP kit, and in the background are racks full of tower systems stacked vertically.
Is this a recent photo? Do they have a computer history museum @ UCB or is that datacenter actually running production workloads on that kit?

- luma 8y agoThat would certainly explain it! After posting my comment it occurred to me that having Dr Patterson pose next to a PA-RISC system was probably intentional, given his history.
