Subject: [COFF] In memoriam: Gene Amdahl
Date: Sun, 10 Nov 2019 09:09:53 +1100 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.21.9999.1911100909300.11612@aneurin.horsfall.org> (raw)
We lost computer architect Gene Amdahl on this day in 2015; responsible
for "Amdahl's Law" (referring to parallel computing), he had a hand in the
IBM-704, the System/360, and founded Amdahl Corporation (a clone of the
360/370 series).
