A compliment is praise, and “complement” is accompaniment. Spelling errors question veracity of article.

Gordon Bell was always the smartest person in the room.

The first few of these awards (1987+) went to work on nCube and Connection Machines (CM, CM-2, …) that may be viewed as “ancestors” to current computational GPUs, vector/matrix accelerators, and dataflow machines. A lot of foresight, and a life well lived!
