Philip Emeagwali's video: Emeagwali: How I Named Processors Across My New Internet Who Invented the Internet

I'm @Philip Emeagwali. I was the first internet scientist that articulated how he experimentally discovered massively parallel processing and discovered it as the technology that makes modern computers faster and makes the new supercomputer the fastest and invented how and why to use that new supercomputer knowledge to build a new supercomputer that encircled the globe in the way the internet does. In the 1980s, I articulated how I named each of my 65,536 commodity processors. And I articulated how I commanded each processor to send and receive emails and do so to and from the other sixty-five thousand five hundred and thirty-five [65,535] processors. This technical aspect of my contribution to the experimental discovery of parallel processing was lost to the lay public, in part, because it involved abstract and dense mathematical knowledge of calculus, algebra, topology, and graph theory. My system of coupled, non-linear, time-dependent, and state-of-the-art partial differential equations of modern mathematics, called Emeagwali’s Equations, were developed only for research computational mathematicians. It is impossible for the lay person to understand partial differential equations. How to accurately solve partial differential equations could only be understood by a few dozen people that were actually experimenting with massively parallel processing supercomputers. Over the years, I learned that conversations about parallel processing is a party spoiler, even amongst supercomputer scientists that only believe in vector processing supercomputing. Naming Computers Across My New Internet I began programming sequential processing supercomputers on Thursday June 20, 1974 at age 19 at 1800 SW Campus Way, Corvallis, Oregon. That sequential processing supercomputer was the world’s fastest in the mid-1960s. By definition, a sequential processing supercomputer is powered by only one powerful processor. Therefore, it was not necessary for me to name that sole processor. My unique naming of my 65,536 commodity-off-the-shelf processors was the abstract elephant in the supercomputer center. Those 65,536 unique names were the as many uninvited guests to the unexplored territory of the massively parallel supercomputer. That lack of understanding of how to uniquely name those processors added weight to the saying that parallel processing is a huge waste of everybody’s time. The June 14, 1976 issue of Computer World, the flagship publication of the world of computing described parallel processing as a [quote-unquote] “waste of time” and ridiculed it as “large” and “clumsy.” TOPICS philip emeagwali father of the internet, philip emeagwali and the internet, Philip Emeagwali Father of the Internet, Philip Emeagwali Biography, Who invented the Internet?, history of the Internet, When was the Internet invented?, Who invented the Internet first?, Who created the Internet and why?, A Father of the Internet, Nigerian Scientist, African Inventors, black inventors, black inventions that changed the world, black inventions we use everyday, black African inventions, black inventions and discoveries, famous black American inventions, black inventions of the 21st century, inventions for black history month, For information about Philip Emeagwali, http://emeagwali.com https://facebook.com/emeagwali https://twitter.com/emeagwali https://instagram.com/philipemeagwali https://flickr.com/philipemeagwali https://linkedin.com/in/emeagwali https://soundcloud.com/emeagwali https://youtube.com/emeagwali Philip Emeagwali 180120 2 Part 1 5 of 5
