Quotes from "The Evolution of Mathematical Software"

These are some nice quotes from“The Evolution of Mathematical Software”, Turing Lecture by the 2021 Turing Award winner Jack J. Dongarra, which talks about algorithm and software development in the context of ever improving hardware.

a large infrastructure of mathematical libraries that must be mainted, ported, and enhanced for many years to come if the value of the application codes that depend on it are to be preserved and extended. The software that encapsulates all this time, energy, and thought, routinely outlasts the hardware it was originally designed to run on.
