Technologists is basically a one-person shop, me,
with a few friends that are loosely affiliated with Technologists.
Having said that, the "few friends" are extraordinarily talented
people, one is an ex-CTO, another an ex Tandem and Compaq Fellow.
Mostly we're software people, but have plenty of hardware
experience and understanding.
Also, we have unusually broad and eclectic networking skill sets,
e.g., deep understanding of circuit, packet, and wireless
networks.
We have been referred to by others as "great programmers".
Remember PL/I?
I was once referred to as "the best PL/I programmer in IBM".
Mostly, we work out of our homes and have extensive multi-platform
(Windows, macOS, Linux, ...) home computing environments.
Consider Technologists as a source for
- expertise in computer oriented technologies, including
- system design and architecture
- multimedia communication
- system performance analysis and modeling
- user experience
- software prototyping and demonstrations
- expert research, reports and testimony in patent litigation
"About" our color scheme. The gray background is a conscious
throwback to the Mosaic days of the Web when browser background was
gray by default. The burnt orange is the school color of The University
of Texas at Austin.
The die photo on all the pages is taken from the orignal Intel
"P6", which was first marketed as the Pentium Pro and was
the basis for the Pentium II.
The P6 was especially important in processor history because
it was the first Intel architecture processor with leadership
performance.
This relegated contemporary "RISC" architectures to niche
roles, and in several cases, ultimate abandonment by their
corporate developers.
(The P6 fixed point performance was better than most of the
contemporary RISC processors.
P6 floating point performance was not as competitive.)
