"A full 16 percent (that's over one in six people)". Actually, 16% is under one in six (1/6=0.16+0.02/3).

Perhaps it's something up with which he will not put. (Stolen from someone famous whose name I can't remember.)

I've never attended ISC, and it is unlikely I will ever attend unless I get rich enough to afford it on my own dime.

The thing is, gallium arsenide will never come even close to being as cheap as silicon.

Don't get me wrong. I like GaAs. I got my Ph.D. by bouncing low-energy electrons off of the (110) surface of pure GaAs single crystals. 😜

GaAs has been the semiconductor of the future for decades, presumably because of its higher electron mobility. Unfortunately, Seymour Cray's CRAY-3, based on GaAs, was no faster than the ho-hum silicon CRAY C90 when they both became almost simultaneously available in the mid 90s.

The directive-based predecessors to #OpenMP that were available in both Cray Research, Inc., and Silicon Graphics, Inc., compilers in the early to mid-90s. After the so-called merger, OpenMP arose from both.
