I thought this community might want to hear the news as well. ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: DAVID A WOOD <[email protected]> Date: Fri, Sep 22, 2017 at 1:41 PM Subject: [Multifacet] Sad news about Nate Binkert
Dear all, It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that my academic grandchild, Nate Binkert, passed away yesterday while exercising at the gym. Nate was Steve Reinhardt’s fourth PhD student and a driving force behind the creation of gem5. Nate's infectious passion about gem5’s potential to improve the quality of research has impacted almost the entire architecture community. They say that you should never outlive your children, and by transitivity, your grandchildren. And I have to say that losing an academic grandchild feels about as terrible as I imagine it must feel to lose a biological grandchild. Nate was a gifted researcher, a great programmer, and a genuinely nice person. He leaves behind his wife, Amity, and three young children. He will be sorely missed. — david David A.
