Major Work
Van de Geijn's has turned toward the theoretical, in particular with his development of the Formal Linear Algebra Method (FLAME). FLAME is an original effort at formalizing the efficient derivation of linear algebra algorithms that are provably correct. This approach benefits from his less theoretical experience; it is designed to ultimately lead to the efficient design and implementation of these algorithms.
He is the principal author of the widely-cited book . Using PLAPACK—parallel linear algebra package. Scientific and engineering computation. Cambridge, Mass: MIT Press, 1997.

Famous quotes containing the words major and/or work:
“Self-centeredness is a natural outgrowth of one of the toddler’s major concerns: What is me and what is mine...? This is why most toddlers are incapable of sharing ... to a toddler, what’s his is what he can get his hands on.... When something is taken away from him, he feels as though a piece of him—an integral piece—is being torn from him.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
“Think of, and look at, your work as though it were done by your enemy. If you look at it to admire it you are lost.”
—Samuel Butler (1835–1902)
