Richard Feynman at Thinking Machines: the physicist who mastered parallel computing

A personal memoir recounts Richard Feynman's collaboration with Thinking Machines Corporation during the development of the Connection Machine supercomputer in the 1980s. Despite having no prior experience with massively parallel computing, Feynman quickly grasped the architecture and made key contributions to physical simulation algorithms. His habit of asking simple, fundamental questions proved invaluable to the young engineering team.
