Philip Emeagwali's video: Emeagwali: I Discovered How Parallel Processing Changed the Way We Look at the Supercomputer

I'm @Philip Emeagwali. In 1946, the programmable supercomputer was invented to compute automatically to compute faster. For me, Philip Emeagwali, my technological quest was for the fastest supercomputer that I could program to make the impossible-to-solve problems arising in extreme-scaled computational physics possible-to-solve and possible across a new internet that is a new global network of 65,536 tightly-coupled processors with each processor operating its own operating system and with each processor having its own dedicated memory that shared nothing with each other. That necessity to solve the most extreme-scaled problems arising in computational physics took me to the crossroads of mathematics, physics, supercomputer and internet sciences. During the sixteen years onward of June 20, 1974, I sojourned from a system of equations of algebra that I solved on a sequential processing supercomputer to the crossroad between the laws of physics and the partial differential equations of calculus. I continued my sojourn to the crossroad between calculus and the system of equations of algebra. I continued my sojourn to the crossroad between algebra and a set of floating-point operations of arithmetic. I continued my sojourn to the crossroad between arithmetic and my new global network of processors that is a new internet. I experimentally discovered that the processors are to the modern supercomputer what the elements are to the periodic table. I experimentally discovered that the processors are the basic building blocks of the modern supercomputer just as atoms are the basic building blocks of molecules. I experimentally discovered that computational physics is at the foundation of the fastest supercomputer just as axioms are at the foundation of axiomatic mathematics. I experimentally discovered that the regular, short, and equidistant email wires that I visualized as fiber optic wires of the Philip Emeagwali internet are its basic building blocks just as the hypercube is constructed from the cube and is constructed from the regular and equidistant edges of the hypercube from lower dimensions. I visualized the new Philip Emeagwali internet as a small copy of the planetary-sized Internet and as a new global network of 64 binary thousand tightly-coupled, already-available processors that is de facto one seamless, cohesive unit that is the fastest supercomputer that computed in parallel, or computed by solving 64 binary thousand initial-boundary value problems at once. My invention of the massively parallel processing supercomputer was independent of processor technology. That invention was a blueprint for a new internet that, in turn, is a prototype of the Philip Emeagwali Cosmic Supercomputer. I invented that Cosmic Supercomputer in the 1970s and ‘80s and I described my Cosmic Supercomputer over a series of lectures that I posted at emeagwali dot com.
