Who invented
the supercomputer

the Internet.
no one individual
invented the Internet alone.
It has many fathers,
as well as mothers,
uncles, and aunts.

incrementally,

Emeagwali's Discoveries Helped
REINVENT THE
SUPERCOMPUTER
The word "computer"
was coined 700 years ago.
If history
repeats itself,
the supercomputer of today will become
the
computer of tomorrow.
that enables supercomputers
powered by 65,000 electronic brains
called "processors"
to
perform
the world’s fastest calculations
inspired the reinvention
of supercomputers -
from the size and shape of a loveseat
to a
thousand-fold faster machine that occupies
the space of four tennis
courts,
costs 400 million dollars a piece,
powered by 65,000
processors and
that can perform
a billion billion calculations
per second.
Newton’s Second Law of Motion
as 18
equations and algorithms;
then as 24 million algebraic equations;
and finally
he programmed
and executed those equations
on
65,000 processors
at a speed
of 3.1 billion calculations per
second.
24 million equations
and 3.1
billion calculations
were three world records
that garnered
international headlines,
made mathematicians rejoice,
and caused
his fellow Africans
to beam with pride.
the 1989 Gordon Bell prize,
the “Nobel Prize
of Supercomputing,”
then-president Bill Clinton called him
“one of
the great minds
of the Information Age.”
The New African
magazine readers
ranked him as
history's greatest scientist
of
African descent.

Emeagwali a "Great Mind"
Excerpt from his White
House
televised speech:
"One of the great minds
of the Information Age
is a Nigerian
American
named Philip Emeagwali.
because his parents
couldn't pay the
fees.
He lived in a refugee camp
during your civil war.
He won
a scholarship
to university and went on
to invent a formula
that lets computers make
3.1 billion calculations
per second.
(Applause.)
the Bill Gates of Africa.
(Laughter and
applause.)
to you is there is
another Philip
Emeagwali
-- or hundreds of them --
or thousands of them
--
growing up in Nigeria today.
when I was driving in
from the airport and
then driving around
to my appointments,
looking into the face
of children.
You never know
what potential
is in their
mind and
in their heart;
what imagination they have;
what they
have already
thought of and
dreamed of
that may be locked in
because they don't have
the means to take it out.
It's our responsibility
to
make sure
all your children
have the chance
to live their
dreams
so that
you don't miss
the benefit
of their
contributions and
neither does the rest of the world."
