There is no way to overestimate the impact of Dr. Dongarra and LINPACK. If you're active in the high performance computing world you know them both quite well. Well done Jack!

Linpack helped me solve an in general intractable problem 15 years ago and kick-started my career short after I got my degree in CS, it turned out that the real world instances of the problem were indeed tractable but that was not revealed untill I tried Linpack. Needless to say I am very greatfull, and I am very happy to see Dongarra got this well earned reward.

You probably only know LINPACK from benchmarks. These days you use LAPACK.
