Slowinski Award The Joseph B. Slowinski Award for Excellence in Snake Systematics coauthoredwith Derrick J. Zwickl, Tracy A. Heath, and David M. Hillis http://www.naherpetology.org/slowinskiaward.asp
Extractions: Because of a substantial contribution from Deutsche Bank (New York City), and the individual contributions by his many friends and colleagues (see below), this Award was established by the Board of Directors of The Center for North American Herpetology (CNAH) as a trust in perpetuity in recognition of the scientific achievements of the late Joseph B. Slowinski, whose life-long study on amphibians and reptiles evolution, especially venomous snakes, was amply demonstrated in his extensive academic and popular writings, photography, and scholarship. Specifications of The Slowinski Award The Slowinski Award, shall be presented once each year provided a qualified recipient is identified. In the absence of a qualified recipient, no award will be given. The award may not be divided, but must be presented in full, to a single individual (in the case of multiple authors, the first author is automatically the recipient of the award). The recipient of The Slowinski Award will be chosen by a panel of at least three herpetologists, one of which will serve as chair, and which have been selected by the CNAH Board of Directors. These panelists are: Frank T. Burbrink (City University of New York, Staten Island), Brian I. Crother (Committee Chairperson, Southeastern Louisiana University, Hammond), and Robin Lawson (California Academy of Sciences, San Francisco). The charge to this panel is to select the most significant published contribution to snake systematics worldwide for the award year.

Large Numbers Over the past decade or so, David Slowinski of Cray Research has made a veritableart of discovering record primes. Slowinski and his co worker Paul Gage http://www.fortunecity.com/emachines/e11/86/largeno.html
Extractions: Large numbers have a distinct appeal,a majesty if you will. In a sense that they lie at the limits of the human imagination which is why they have long proved elusive,difficult to define,and harder still to manipulate. In recent decades though computer capabilities have dramatically improved. Modern machines now possess enough memory and speed to handle quite impressive figures.For instance it is possible to multiply together million-digit numbers in a mere fraction of a second. As a result we can now characterize numbers about which earlier mathematicians could only dream. Interest in large numbers dates back to ancient times. We know, for example that the early Hindus, who developed the decimal system, contemplated them .In the now commonplace decimal system the position of a digit (1s, 10s, 100s and so on) denotes its scale. Using this shorthand, the Hindus named many large numbers; one having 153 digits or as we might say today, a number of of the order 10 -is mentioned in a myth about Buddha.

George Leedom - April 3, 1999 From David Slowinski slow@marcusonline.net . George Leedom, one of the Craypioneers, passed away Saturday morning at his sister s home in Billings, http://www.excray.com/passings/GeorgeLeedom.html
Extractions: George Leedom, one of the Cray pioneers, passed away Saturday morning at his sister's home in Billings, Montana. George was a logic designer who most recently worked on T90 memory design. George had been making good progress in his fight against his lung cancer that was discovered last November. George and I were planning a sailing adventure together to help deliver a sailboat from Puerto Vallarta, Mexico to Los Angeles and were just days away from sailing away when George was diagnosed with brain cancer three weeks ago. George was an inspiration to many of us for his remarkable success pursueing excellent adventures with minimal interference from the normal burdens that seem to shackle others. To the end George's positive attitude and sense of humor were intact. He passed away quickly and without pain or regrets in the company of loving family. David Slowinski Passings index Home page
Ivars Peterson's MathLand The new prime was discovered last spring by David Slowinski and Paul Gage in thecourse of routine testing of a new Cray T94 supercomputer in preparation http://www.maa.org/mathland/mathland_9_16.html
Extractions: Ivars Peterson's MathLand September 16, 1996 Venturing again into largely unexplored digital territory, computer scientists at Cray Research have unearthed another gargantuan prime number, setting a new record for the largest known prime. This number, 2^1,257,787 - 1, has 378,632 digits, putting it well ahead of the previous record holder, which came in at 258,716 digits when it was found in 1994. If written out in full, the new prime would cover about 120 typed pages. It is also the 34th Mersenne prime to be discovered. Expressed in the form 2^ p - 1, where the exponent p is itself a prime, Mersenne numbers hold a special place in the never-ending pursuit of larger and larger primes. These particular numbers have special characteristics that make it relatively easy to check whether a candidate is either a prime number or a composite number. The smallest Mersenne prime is 3 (2^2 - 1). After that comes 7 (2^3 - 1), then 31 (2^5 - 1), and so on. With an exponent of 1,257,787, the new champion holds the distinction of being the largest Mersenne prime so far identified. However, because no one has yet checked all Mersenne numbers having smaller exponents, mathematicians can't be sure that no Mersenne primes lurk in the vast expanse between the record holder and the second-place Mersenne prime, or even between the third-place and second-place Mersenne primes. The new prime was discovered last spring by David Slowinski and Paul Gage in the course of routine testing of a new Cray T94 supercomputer in preparation for delivery to a customer. The number surfaced during one particular 6-hour run. Slowinski and Gage then asked other researchers to double-check their work before making it public.
Extractions: Bit On September 11, in a remote corner of Myanmar, herpetologist Joseph Slowinski reached into a snake bag, as he had done a thousand times before. The next 28 hours would be his last. Mark W. Moffett recounts the death of a frienda man for whom beauty lay in a flash of danger hidden in wet grass. Slowinski in extremis, 11 a.m.: from left to right, American researcher Guin Wogan, Chinese herptologist Roa Dingqi, Joe Slowinski, Burmese assistant U Po Cho, and American ichthyologist David Catania THAT MORNING I WOKE at dawn and crawled from my tent into the big unpainted schoolroom where the members of our biology expedition slept. We were in Rat Baw, a village in the far north of Myanmar. Outside, expedition leader and herpetologist Joe Slowinski and his best friend, photographer Dong Lin, stood wearing matching green T-shirts stenciled with one of Dong's photos of a cobra, poised to strike. I walked up as Joe's Burmese field assistant, U Htun Win, held out a snake bag. "I think it's a Dinodon ," he was saying. Joe extended his right hand into the bag. When it reappeared, a pencil-thin, gray-banded snake swung from the base of his middle finger. "That's a fucking krait," Joe said. He pulled off the snake and kneaded the bitten area, seemingly unmarked, with a fingernail.

Extractions: 1.-Would you like to enter the Guinness Book of Records for discovering the biggest prime so far? Last week Paul Gage and David Slowinski of the Cray Research Unit announced that they had broken their previous record from 1994 and discovered a prime number with 378,632 digits. Using a Cray T94 supercomputer, one of the most powerful computers in existence, they took only six hours to check that this huge number could not be written as the product of two smaller numbers. 2.-But now, thanks to programmer George Woltman in Florida, armed only with a Pentium PC and access to the internet, you too could earn a place in prime number history. It may seem foolhardy to play David to the Goliath of Cray's supercomputers, but Woltman believes that the combined forces of hundreds of PCs, co-ordinated via the internet, can claim the prize for the next largest prime. 3.-Woltman has devised software especially tuned to a Pentium PC which hunts for big primes when your PC is idle. Since January he has co-ordinated, via his web site, a growing army of PCs which now numbers 430. "There is no way a lone computer can compete with supercomputers, but if we work as a team we can accomplish a great deal."
