David Harold Bailey (born 14 August 1948) is a mathematician and computer scientist. He received his B.S. in mathematics from Brigham Young University in 1972 and his Ph.D. in mathematics from Stanford University in 1976.[1] He worked for 14 years as a computer scientist at NASA Ames Research Center, and then from 1998 to 2013 as a Senior Scientist at the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He is now retired from the Berkeley Lab.
Bailey is perhaps best known as a co-author (with Peter Borwein and Simon Plouffe) of a 1997 paper that presented a new formula for π (pi), which had been discovered by Plouffe in 1995. This Bailey–Borwein–Plouffe formula permits one to calculate binary or hexadecimal digits of pi beginning at an arbitrary position, by means of a simple algorithm. Subsequently, Bailey and Richard Crandall showed that the existence of this and similar formulas has implications for the long-standing question of "no

Research overview
High performance computing. Bailey is a leading figure in the field of high-performance scientific computing, with one book and over 100 published paper in this area. His paper "The NAS parallel benchmarks" (co-authored with several colleagues at NASA Ames Research Center) is widely cited in performance studies of scientific computer systems. His paper "FFTs in external or hierarchical memory" presented a technique for performing the fast Fourier transform (FFT) on parallel and hierarchical memory computers that is now the basis of many FFT implementations on modern computer systems. He has received the Sidney Fernbach Award from the IEEE Computer Society (1993), the Gordon Bell Prize from the Association for Computing Machinery (2008), and the Test of Time Award from the ACM/IEEE Supercomputing Conferenc- •

Dear Dr. David Bailey,
Reading with great surprise, “In 1950, while having lunch with colleagues Edward Teller and Herbert York, who were chatting about a recent cartoon in the New Yorker depicting aliens…” I asked myself, “Just how old is David Bailey?”
I went on a search, found your Wikipedia page and was greatly relieved that you weren’t a nonagenarian or centenarian. You are in fact a year younger than me… I was relieved to have time to kibitz. Then, I realized it was Enrio Fermi who was at lunch! Yet, given Herbert York died in 2009 and Edward Teller in 2003, I thought it was possible that you were there! Excellent article. I’ve been asked and never had those excellent nine
