[sdiy] Walter J. Karplus

[cheater cheater]

I just stumbled upon this NASA document about computers for simulation
by a Walter J. Karplus and I was wondering if he was related to Kevin
Karplus, the co-inventor of Karplus-Strong synthesis. Walter's son was
named Toni, so probably not a direct ancestor. WJK was born in Vienna
and left Austria with his parents and family running from the Nazis.

Apparently in 1962 Walter J. Karplus co-authored a book with Rajko
Tomović about high speed analog computers:

Here's a list of his works:

Includes work on analog computers, hybrid computing (this means analog
+ digital), and on the Connection Machine that Feynman also worked on.

I haven't been able to find High Speed Analog Computers for viewing online.
