Definition of Goon

[Hamj]

"The guiding principle of GOON is to take advantage of two modern computer languages, C++ and F90, and build a flexible and efficient system for testing geophysical inversion ideas. In GOON, C++ and F90 have two distinct and complementary roles. The main program and the solvers are adopted from HCL and are written in C++. C++ is used to assemble complex geophysical operators from simpler ones, by creating operator matrices and operator chains, and to pass these composite operators to a solver module. F90 is used for efficient and unambiguous coding of geophysical operators."



So when Cray is calling you a goon he's really calling you a nerd!!:worthy:

So what's it mean if I call you a nerd?

Nerd - A computer expert by aptitude and not mere training. Usually male, under the age of 35 and socially inept; a person whose tremendous skill with operating or designing computer hardware or software is exceeded only by his, rarely her, passionate love of the technology. See also hacker.

a few may be this too:

A geek (IPA: [giːk]) is a person who is fascinated, perhaps obsessively, by obscure or very specific areas of knowledge and imagination, usually electronic or virtual in nature. Geek may not always have the same meaning as the term nerd (see nerd for a discussion of the disputed relation between the terms).
