David Bailey

"David’s work has always combined mathematical depth with a clear understanding of real computing systems. His contributions span parallel algorithms, performance analysis, numerical accuracy, high-precision arithmetic, and computational reproducibility. He also helped establish experimental mathematics as a serious computational discipline, demonstrating how advanced computing can lead directly to new mathematical discoveries.

I have known and worked with David for many years and have always valued his intellectual rigor, originality, and insistence on honest and meaningful performance measurement. His influence extends well beyond his publications: the methods, benchmarks, and standards he helped create have become part of the foundations of modern HPC."
