Similarly, his recent and relatively well-publicized calculation of several trillion! Previous record-setting calculations of this class were done on million-dollar supercomputers. Bellard made it seem natural to pull together his mathematical insight, broad experience at instruction-level coding, and careful engineering to advance the field this way.
The roots of the achievement reflect back to his experiments on a hand-held programmable calculator at the age of nine. To describe fully even one of the projects already mentioned is beyond the scope of an article such as this; it would take several books to capture all that Bellard has already contributed, and at least another to explain how he works.
A few broad conclusions are possible, though:. As has often been observed before, the very best programmers are far, far more productive than the average, able to produce multiples of the usable output of others;. That is, the mindset is that progress with computers has to do with million-dollar budgets, celebrity announcements, and courtroom jousting. While Fabrice Bellard seems unlikely ever to hire a publicist or otherwise elevate his profile in the public eye, he shapes our use of computers more indelibly than corporate executives and industry analysts.
Tell me about it in the comments. Even more important: What great program will you write next? What obstacles to superproductivity do you face? Blog Fabrice Bellard Cameron Laird. Serial achiever What other description can there be when one man successively produces a dozen important and widely-used software applications?
Finding a Balance Bellard seems to balance nicely between extremes that threaten productivity. Don't forget tcc, the tiny C compiler. You can compile all 6MB of sqlite3 in 0. Yeah definitely. If programming genius had a unit it should be called the bellard. Definitely impressive, but don't forget all the open source libs available now. Decades ago you needed all those folks to build the infrastructure that didn't exist these days for free.
Fabrice's no-frills website has way more rad shit than all the bullshit Nathan Myhrvold pays PR firms to promote. My business partner wrote a note to fabrice bellard.
