Interesting Article about Amdahl #13

Open werrah opened 8 years ago

Not an issue, but something I found interesting...

I got my undergrad in Engineering at the other UW -- University of Wisconsin. I was reading my alumni magazine yesterday and there was a short article about the passing of Gene Amdahl, just this past November at age 92. I thought it was an interesting coincidence since we had just covered Amdahl's law in class.

Here is an article from the UW website if you're interested:
