Roger Frye [1] Roger E. Frye,

an American mathematician, data scientist and technical analyst. In the late 80s and early 90s, while affiliated with Thinking Machines, he used massive parallelism to solve several seemingly impossible problems in discrete mathematics. He found the smallest counter-example to Euler’s generalization of Fermat’s Last Theorem [2], wrote the code for the final stage of factoring a 513 bit integer, and demonstrated a 150x speedup over Cray on an NSA benchmark [3].
