Tarolli Interviewed by: Shayne Hodge Recorded: July 29, 2013 Mountain View, California CHM Reference number: X6887.2013 © 2013 Computer History Museum 3dfx Oral History Panel Shayne Hodge: OK. My name is Shayne Hodge. This is July 29, 2013 at the afternoon in the Computer History Museum. We have with us today the founders of 3dfx, a graphics company from the 1990s of considerable influence. From left to right on the camera-- I'll let you guys introduce yourselves. Gary Tarolli: I'm Gary Tarolli. Scott Sellers: I'm Scott Sellers. Ross Smith: Ross Smith. Gordon Campbell: And Gordon Campbell. Hodge: And so why don't each of you take about a minute or two and describe your lives roughly up to the point where you need to say 3dfx to continue describing them. Tarolli: All right. Where do you want us to start? Hodge: Birth. Tarolli: Birth. Oh, born in New York, grew up in rural New York. Had a pretty uneventful childhood, but excelled at math and science. So I went to school for math at RPI [Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute] in Troy, New York. And there is where I met my first computer, a good old IBM mainframe that we were just talking about before [this taping], with punch cards. So I wrote my first computer program there and sort of fell in love with computer. So I became a computer scientist really. So I took all their computer science courses, went on to Caltech for VLSI engineering, which is where I met some people that influenced my career life afterwards.

PAVOL KORCˇ EK SUPERVISOR BRNO 2011 Abstrakt S narastajúcim poètom vozidiel na na¹ich cestách sa èoraz väčšmi stretávame so súèasnými problémami dopravy, medzi ktoré by sme mohli zaradi» poèetnej¹ie havárie, zápchy a zvýše- nie vypú¹»aných emisií CO2, ktoré zneèis»ujú životné prostredie. Na to, aby sme boli schopní efektívne využíva» cestnú infra¹truktúru, nám môžu poslúžiť napríklad simulátory dopravy. Pomocou takýchto simulátorov môžme vyhodnoti» vývoj premávky za rôznych poèiatoè- ných podmienok a tým vedie», ako sa správa» a reagova» v rôznych situáciách dopravy. Táto práca sa zaoberá témou akcelerácia mikroskopickej simulácie dopravy za použitia OpenCL. Akcelerácia simulácie je dôležitá pri potrebe analyzova» veľkú sie» infra¹truktúry, kde nám bežné spôsoby implementácie simulátorov nestaèia. Pre tento úèel je možné použiť naprí- klad techniku GPGPU súèasných grafických kariet, ktoré sú schopné paralelne vykonáva» v¹eobecné výpoèty.
