I don't know what is this prize and your contributions, but I congratulate with everyone. Beside, I remember the efforts done to cover SIMD architectures from Smalltalk. It was the interactions with the runtime of MasPar writen in Smalltalk (1990) that produce a good understanding of what happen on the parallel matrix with assertions and visualization of conditions. All these things would be very useful for current GPUs, beside the excellent 1 thread VM we know. It is a pity that nobody want to redo this work and fund a little bit progresses to bind seriously Smalltalk to actual hardwares. Probably a good master student could do it with a small stipend, or even myself, to be freed from this question.
