Philip Emeagwali's video: On Witnessing the Invention of a New Supercomputer History of the Computer Famous Inventors

Who is Philip Emeagwali? The following story is a sixty-minute excerpt from my sixty-year-story. At age 34, and at 10:15 in the morning New York Time Tuesday the Fourth of July 1989, the US Independence Day, I saw something no human had ever seen before. I saw an ensemble of the slowest processors in the world outperform the fastest supercomputer in the world. I got goose bumps and my hairs stood on end while I watched my invention unfold. Seeing, for the first time ever, the slowest processors compute together to compute faster than the fastest supercomputer was the most amazing experience in my life. I was witnessing the birth of a new era in the history of the computer. I was witnessing a paradigm shift in the supercomputer world. I was witnessing a change of tectonic proportions that will forever affect the way we think about the computer. I was witnessing the birth of a new computer that is powered by an ensemble of a hundred commodity processors, rather than computing with only one processor. I was witnessing the birth of a new supercomputer that is powered by a global network of 65,536 commodity-off-the-shelf processors, rather than supercomputing with only one customized vector processor. I was witnessing the birth of a new internet of tomorrow that could be powered by a global network of one trillion processors that emulates one seamless, cohesive supercomputer.
