Donald Pederson, chip scientist, dies at 79 (NYTimes)
RIP, Donald Pederson, and thanks for your contributions.
I got to maintain an early copy of SPICE on a CDC mainframe back circa 1979-80. Massive Fortran (FTN4) program that did all sorts of bizarre things like writing machine code into an array and then executing it (which I cursed thoroughly at the time). Its descendants, both direct and in spirit, are still doing well today.
