Kazushige Goto
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kazushige Gotō (後藤和茂, Gotō Kazushige) is a software engineer specializing in high performance, hand-written, machine code.
Goto was a research associate at the Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University of Texas at Austin when he wrote his famously hand-optimized assembly routines for supercomputing and PC platforms that outperform the best compiler generated code.
Several of the fastest supercomputers in the world still[when?] use his implementation of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) known as GotoBLAS.[citation needed]
