{{nihongo|Kazushige Gotō|後藤和茂|Gotō Kazushige}} is a software engineer specializing in high performance, hand-written, machine code.

Education

Goto was a research associate at the Texas Advanced Computing Center at the University of Texas at Austin when he wrote his famously hand-optimized assembly routines for supercomputing and PC platforms that outperform the best compiler generated code.

Several of the fastest supercomputers in the world still{{when|date=August 2013}} use his implementation of the Basic Linear Algebra Subprograms (BLAS) known as GotoBLAS.{{citation needed|date=August 2013}}

Career

In 2010, Goto joined Microsoft's Technical Computing Group with the title of Senior Researcher.

In July 2012, he joined Intel with the title of Software Engineer.

Goto continues to write hand-optimized machine code, utilizing detailed knowledge of the architecture to which he has access.
