I look forward to seeing articles on Moore's work; I did not have the pleasure of knowing him.
In the meantime, this headline had me a little confused, thinking of the chip designer Chuck Moore who was Forth's creator. It doesn't seem that this is the same Moore. Just FYI :)
Just to further make it easy to confuse the two, the Forth-inventor Chuck Moore is also involved in chip design these days (at Green Arrays - a company doing embedded heavily multi-core chips running a forth-like instruction set)
I also wondered for a while (checking wikipedia and work...). May he rest in peace, even if from that little article I didn't get to know what advancements he was responsible of (and I'm now quite curious about)
For anyone else who is confused, this is not the same Chuck Moore who invented the Forth programming language. As the title states, this is the Chuck Moore of AMD.
This is terrible news. I got to work with Chuck Moore in grad school. I was a PhD student when he was a senior member of our research group. At the time he'd already led the design of IBM's Power4, the first multicore processor.
The tap water in Silicon Valley is generally terrible - a legacy of [a] not enough water in California and [b] the industrial legacy of turning "The Valley of the Heart's Delight" into a manufacturing center.
