Forest Baskett (born May 11, 1943) is an American venture capitalist, computer scientist and former professor of electrical engineering at Stanford University.[1]
He is a venture capitalist at New Enterprise Associates. Baskett designed the operating system for the original Cray-1 supercomputer, was an original pioneer of Very Large Scale Integration,[2] and co-introduced the eponymous BCMP networks.[3]
Baskett received a BA in Mathematics from Rice University and a Ph.D. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at Austin.
He became a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 1994 for his vision and leadership in the development of hardware and software for high-performance workstations.[4]
Baskett was the doctoral advisor of computer scientists Alan J. Smith[5] and Andy Bechtolsheim while at Stanford and was involved in the founding of Sun Microsystems.[6] He was also the CTO and Senior Vice President of R&D at Silicon Graphics (SGI).[7]
