The Father of the Internet Visualized the First Internet | Philip Emeagwali | Influential Scientists

I'm Philip Emeagwali. When I began supercomputing —on June 20, 1974—I envisioned a planet-sized global network of computers that was the precursor to the Internet. In subsequent years, I invented a new internet that I called a HyperBall that was described in the book titled: “History of the Internet.” I also invented a second new internet that I called a Cosmic Ball. In the mid-1970s, my new internets remained science fiction. But on the Fourth of July 1989, I constructively reduced that HyperBall science fiction to nonfiction and I did so when I became the first person to experimentally discover that an ensemble of the slowest 65,536 processors in the world can be harnessed to compute faster than the world’s fastest supercomputer and do so while solving the toughest problems in extreme-scale computational physics. At its logical core, my technological quest to record the fastest speed in supercomputing and to record it across a new internet that was my ensemble of 65,536 commodity processors was indirectly a quest to find the elusive email communication path and to know the unknown communication primitive, and was a quest to find the communication path from each commodity processor to its sixteen nearest-neighboring commodity processors. My email communication breakthrough occurred when I discovered a new paradigm in email communication, namely, how to use a new addressing scheme that was counter-intuitive but self-relative. In the old paradigm of computing, supercomputer scientists used an addressing scheme that was intuitive and absolute. With my self-relative addressing scheme, I repeated the email messages that I sent to and received from my two-to-power sixteen commodity processors. With my mathematical discovery of the self-relative addressing scheme, my self-doubt evaporated like dew in the sun. After that mathematical discovery, my confidence soared and I started seeing myself as the first massively parallel processing supercomputer scientist that could experimentally discover how to make the impossible-to-compute possible-to-compute. To the 25,000 vector processing supercomputer scientists of the 1980s that lacked my new knowledge of self-relative addressing scheme, Philip Emeagwali seemed like a lunatic that was pursuing the elusive goal of massively parallel processing across an ensemble of commodity processors that was a global network of 65,536 commodity processors and that was a new internet. I invented a precise, minimalist code with email communication primitives that belies its power. My code was so minimalist that my email messages to and from sixteen-bit long addresses appeared invisible. I wanted my data to be transported from each vertex of the hypercube —that was my metaphor for a commodity processor— to its sixteen nearest neighboring vertices that had a one-to-one correspondence with sixteen nearest-neighboring commodity processors. I visualized my emails as flowing quietly and seamlessly across the surface of a hypersphere that was embedded in a sixteen-dimensional universe and doing so with the accuracy a cat deploys to tiptoe deftly through a laid dinner table.
