Philip Emeagwali's video: Emeagwali: How I Visualized the First Internet Who Invented the Internet Father of Internet

I'm @Philip Emeagwali. Please allow me to briefly take you to the moment that I experimentally discovered how and why massively parallel processing makes modern computers faster and makes the new supercomputer the fastest. As a research supercomputer scientist who came of age in the 1970s and ‘80s, my goal was to become a supercomputer magician, or a computer wizard, and to make my 64 binary thousand commodity-off-the-shelf processors to seemingly disappear or to become almost invisible. When I said this, a third-grader shook his head in disagreement and said to me: “I want real magic.” “What is real magic?” I asked. “I want you to make me to disappear!” Supercomputing wizardry is to make mathematical magic by making one binary million email wires to seemingly disappear or to become almost invisible. At 10:15 in the morning New York time Tuesday the Fourth of July 1989, the US Independence Day, I made my 65,536 commodity processors to seemingly disappear. That is, I experimentally discovered that my ensemble of 64 binary thousand processors that were identical could emulate one seamless, cohesive supercomputer that was the precursor to the modern supercomputer. It was a triumph that made the news headlines. It was a supercomputing breakthrough because the two leading supercomputer pioneers in the world—namely, Seymour Cray and Gene Amdahl—had both claimed that it will forever remain impossible for the slowest 65,536 processors and to solve a grand problem and solve it faster than the fastest supercomputer in the world. After my experimental discovery of the Fourth of July 1989, the likes of Steve Jobs, Seymour Cray, and Gene Amdahl were knocking on my door to learn how I experimentally discovered the massively parallel processing supercomputer. After my experimental discovery of the Fourth of July 1989 it can no longer be said that parallel processing is a beautiful theory that lacked experimental confirmation. That was my Eureka! Moment. That moment—10:15 in the morning New York Time Tuesday the Fourth of July 1989— was the moment that I dramatized the existence of my ensemble of 64 binary thousand commodity-off-the-shelf processors. That was the moment that I experimentally discovered how and why parallel processing makes new modern computers faster and makes the new supercomputer the fastest. That was the moment that I experimentally discovered how and why my sixteen-network-deep commodity email wires comprised of a network of network of commodity-off-the-shelf processors is both a new internet and a new parallel processing supercomputer. That was the moment that I experimentally discovered how to simultaneously compute on an ensemble of 64 binary thousand processors as well as how to synchronously communicate across a global network of short email wires that outlined and defined a new internet. That was the moment that I experimentally discovered how to seamlessly compute across an ensemble of 64 binary thousand processors and seamlessly compute as one cohesive new supercomputer. That was the moment I experimentally discovered how to make 64 binary thousand processors to seemingly disappear and discovered how to make one binary million email wires to seem invisible. Messages From the Sixteenth Dimension To make those 65,536 processors to de facto disappear makes the word “internet” redundant. That new internet that is a global network of two-raised-to-power sixteen identical and commodity-off-the-shelf processors was, in effect, reduced to a new supercomputer that was beyond the conventional vector processing supercomputers of the 1970s and ‘80s. I was the lone wolf programmer that made that experimental discovery and made it by programming that sixteen-network-deep new internet and programming it to seemingly disappear and to emulate a seamless, cohesive, and new computer that is the fastest supercomputer, ever.
