Larry Smarr, a physicist whose work at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on calculating black hole collisions led him to champion a federal commitment to dramatically enhance U.S. computing power - which in turn led to the development of NCSA Mosaic, the precursor to web browsers - was named today as the first 2014 recipient of the Golden Goose Award, which goes to three or four winners annually.
