Hand-tuned Code
Posted by Daniel Stout on Sun 27 Nov 2005 at 11:45 PM
The NYTimes.com has a great article about Kazushige Goto whose Basic Linear Algebra Subroutines (GotoBLAS) power a surprising number of the world’s fastest computers. Mr. Goto has exceled at hand-tuning code for calculating linear equations on a variety of microprocessor architectures. Currently at UT-Austin, he has been in the supercomputing field for only a decade. He’s now 37 years old. Well, go read the article yourself. It’s fascinating, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Kind of appropriate that his last name is Goto, no?
