I'm Philip Emeagwali. Shortly after the Christmas of 1989, in San Francisco (California), the office of the largest technical organization, called the IEEE, as well as some other institutions issued press releases that announced that I had discovered practical parallel supercomputing and discovered it as the vital technology that will power every supercomputer. And that I had invented how to harness 65,536 processors to solve the toughest initial-boundary value problems arising in mathematical physics and that I had discovered how to solve that grand challenge problem and solve it at the world’s fastest
supercomputer speeds
and that I had solved the problem
at the then unheard of speed of
3.1 billion floating point
arithmetical operations per second.
Those 1989 press releases
on my discovery
of practical parallel supercomputing
were picked up by newspapers
and magazines.
And I began getting requests
for media interviews.
For the decade preceding 1989,
I was mocked and made fun of
while I worked alone
on parallel supercomputing.
But as I became famous
those vector supercomputer scientists
that mocked and made fun of me
and that refused to work jointly with me and become my co-discover
of practical parallel supercomputing
turned around and insisted that
they will now become
my new best friend
and that I should allow them
to become my co-inventors.
Their motive was this:

If they had collaborated with me
and did so for only one minute,
they would have gone to the court
to fight for a share of the credit
for my invention
of practical parallel supercomputing
and for the invention
that I had already invented
and invented without any contribution
from them.

In the old style of supercomputing,
the conventional supercomputer solves
grand challenge
initial-boundary value problems
arising in extreme-scale
computational physics
and takes forever
to solve them in a step-by-step fashion
that is called serial computing.
On the Fourth of July 1989, I discovered a new way of solving
those grand challenge problems, namely, chopping them into a million
smaller, less challenging
initial-boundary value problems
and then simultaneously
solving those problems across
a million processors and solving them
in a one-problem to one-processor corresponded mapping
that will result in a million fold
speed increase.
I visualized my processors
as identical to each other
and as equal distances apart
from each other
and as interconnected
by identical email wires
that were lying on the surface
of a globe
that was represented by
a hypersphere
in a sixteen-dimensional hyperspace.
In my July 4, 1989 physical
parallel supercomputing experiment
that made the news headlines in 1989,
I divided the grand challenge
initial-boundary value problem
of simulating the flow of crude oil, injected water, and natural gas
across an oilfield
that is one mile deep
and that is the size of a town.
I did so by dividing that oilfield
into two-raised-to-power sixteen,
or 65,536, smaller oilfields.
I emailed my supercomputer codes
and their companion data
that I used to simulate
each of my smaller oilfields
and emailed them to and from
sixteen-bit long email addresses
and I emailed them along sixteen times
two-raised-to-power sixteen
email wires.
That is, I emailed my data and codes
across a new internet
and into each processor
within my new global network of
64 binary thousand processors
that were equal distances apart
and that were on the surface of a globe
in the sixteenth dimension.
That was how I solved
the grand challenge problem
of supercomputing
and how I discovered
how parallel processing makes
the computer faster
and makes the supercomputer fastest,
and discovered
how to always manufacture
the world’s fastest computer
and do so with the technology of
massively parallel processing.

I was born on August 23, 1954
in a small hospital
in the British West African colony
of Nigeria.
The first house that I lived in
was the Boy’s Quarter,
a small house for servants,
that was associated with a bigger house
within a compound on the right side of Oke-Emeso Street
that was at the intersection
of Oke-Emeso Street
and Oba Adesida Road,
Akure, Nigeria, British West Africa.
