@acm.orgIn the latest People of ACM profile, we interview Kian-Lee Tan, a Professor at the National University of Singapore who is an expert in query processing and database management. Among other topics, he discusses the relationship between query processing and AI. Read here: buff.ly/OVGk1c1
@acm.orgHappy Birthday to Seymour Cray, who was born #OTD in 1925.
In 1964, Cray designed the CDC 6600, widely regarded as the first successful supercomputer. Cray's approach to high-performance computing helped establish the architectural ideas and design principles that shape supercomputers today.
@acm.org#OTD in 1919, James Hardy Wilkinson was born. Wilkinson received the 1970 #ACMTuringAward for his research in numerical analysis to facilitate the use of the high-speed digital computer, his work in computations in linear algebra and "backward" error analysis. amturing.acm.org/award_winner...
