Philip Emeagwali's video: Emeagwali: I Am Well Known But I Am Not Known Well Black History Month Inventor School Reports

I'm @Philip Emeagwali. The high-resolution general circulation modeling is the most vexing grand challenge problem in extreme-scale computational physics. The general circulation model transcends and traverses across calculus, algebra, computing and across the new internet that I invented as a new global network of two-raised-to-power sixteen, commonly available processors that were identical and that were equal distances apart. That network of processors is de facto a supercomputer that is sixteen orders of magnitude faster than a computer. To make that experimental discovery that encompasses the disciplines of mathematics, physics, and computing called for a polymath and not for a mathematician. That polymath must be a jack-of-all-sciences and must be at the frontier of scientific and technological knowledge. That polymath must be a master of mathematics, physics, and computing. That polymath must know calculus and know it forward and backward and know it from the storyboard to the blackboard to the motherboard and, most importantly, know how to solve the toughest problems arising in calculus and know how to solve them across motherboards that each is an ensemble of processors that computes as one seamless, cohesive supercomputer that is beyond super. I’m a supercomputer scientist. I’m an internet scientist. I am well known but I am not known well. I’m the supercomputer scientist who was in the news back in 1989 for inventing how and why computing many things at once makes modern computers faster and makes the new supercomputer the fastest, namely, the Philip Emeagwali formula that then U.S. President Bill Clinton described in his White House speech of August 26, 2000. When I visit the public libraries in the United States, I often ran into elementary school students or middle school students or high school students doing research for their school reports. Some school reports were titled: famous scientists and their discoveries or great inventors and their inventions. Since my invention of the massively parallel processing supercomputer that occurred on the Fourth of July 1989 and that made the news headlines, thereafter, many school reports had the title: “The Contributions of Philip Emeagwali to the Development of the Computer.” Each school report on Philip Emeagwali presumes that the 12-year-old writer understood what he wrote about the precursor to the massively parallel processing supercomputers that I invented. Each school report presumes that the 12-year-old writer understood how I invented the new massively parallel processing supercomputer and understood my detailed explanation that spanned thousands of pages that the new technology is a new internet and understood my explanation of how the new technology makes the modern computer faster and makes the modern supercomputer fastest. That invention of the technique of solving a million tough problems at once and invention of the massively parallel processing supercomputer took me sixteen years, onward of June 20, 1974, to understand. Therefore, it’s impossible for a 12-year-old whose 42-year-old father was not born when I began programming the fastest supercomputers in the world, back in 1974, to understand the massively parallel processing supercomputer that took me sixteen years to understand. So a 12-year-old submitting a school report on the contributions of Philip Emeagwali to the development of the supercomputer is like the boy that looked at the tip of a faraway iceberg and told his father that he has seen the ninety percent of the iceberg that is underneath the surface of the ocean. Ninety percent of my research on extreme-scale computational mathematics that led to my experimental discovery of the precursor to the massively parallel processing supercomputer is dense, abstract, and as invisible as the nine-tenth, or 90 percent, of the iceberg that is below the water’s surface. Because only ten percent of my invention of a new internet that was a new supercomputer and a new computer was understood, I am well known but I am not known well.
