Computational Equivalence
editDr. Gorn was a professor of mine in graduate school at the Moore School of the University of Pennsylvania. He was best known for an ACM paper on a "baker's dozen", or 13, different systems for computing the same non-trivial computation, illustrating the principle of Computational Equivalence (currently best expressed by Stephen Wolfram: See Principle of Computational Equivalence). These systems included various programming languages, and even special-purpose hardware consisting of a VLSI chip that he designed and tested himself.
- I would add this, but without sufficient references it is sure to be deleted. I don't have the time to research references. David Spector (talk) 20:02, 13 February 2012 (UTC)
- I studied this paper when I took a graduate-level CIS course from Dr. Gorn at the Moore School, U. of Pa. He was a very smart guy with a great sense of humor. All algorithmic representations are computationally equivalent. David Spector (talk) 17:50, 22 February 2017 (UTC)
