Gordon Bell passed away

Legendary computer scientist Gordon Bell passed away last Friday at his home in Coronado, CA. He was 89. The New York Times has a nice tribute piece. A long-time pioneer with Digital Equipment Corp, he pushed hard for development of lower cost, high-performing alternatives to the IBM mainframe. In recent years, he was most familiar to the HPC community because of the prestigious ACM Gordon Bell Prize, named in his honer, and presented at the annual SC conference each year.
