"fastest supercomputer software"? What the fuck does that even mean? And I was alive in 1989 and never heard of this "Gordonbel Prize", so I certainly don't consider it equivalent.
Well, let's investigate.
Emeagwali received a $1,000 1989 Gordon Bell Prize, based on an application of the CM-2 massively-parallel computer for oil-reservoir modeling. He won in the "price/performance" category, with a performance figure of 400 Mflops/$1M, corresponding to an absolute performance of 3.1 Gflops. The other recipient of the award, who won in the "peak performance" category for a similar application of the CM-2 to oil-related seismic data processing, actually had a price-performance figure of 500 Mflops/$1M and an absolute performance of 6.0 Gflops, but the judges decided not to award both prizes to the same team.
So he wrote a reasonably efficient simulation of a particular industrial problem and took second place in a minor award that was instituted to raise awareness about parallel computing. Despite losing, he was given the award on a technicality.
Conclusion: You're entire list is bullshit parroted by uneducated niggers who never once took the time to verify any of it. It contains no details because niggers are too stupid to make up a consistent lie. It is poorly edited and contains duplicate entries because you have never read the list, because you are illiterate. You believe a smattering of inaccurate text will intimidate your adversaries, because text intimidates you, because you are illiterate.
Nevertheless, Emeagwali was voted the "35th-greatest African (and greatest African scientist) of all time" in a survey by New African magazine.
