原文網(wǎng)址:http://blog.sina.com.cn/s/blog_5f15ead20100hu9w.html Trieste (where the code originates) is the main shipping port in Italy for coffee imports, and the city has a long tradition of coffee houses and of coffee producers (the beans themselves are grown elsewhere). The most famous of these companies is "Illy", that is extremely tech savy -this below is an article that the company founder wrote a few years ago for "Scientific American": http://www.podmerchant.com/coffee/complexity-of-coffee.pdf What might intrigue you is that we invented the name while waiting in Beijing airport a flight to Xi'an - we were in Beijing for a summer school at the institute of physics (2004), and we decided to spend the weekend in the old capital. Here is the team at work - I believe Shobhana, Ralph and Carlo are missing, among those that were there : http://quasiamore.mit.edu/personal/xian/espresso.jpg The one hiding himself behind the camera is Roberto Car。 Just a remark: the complete name of the distribution is "Quantum ESPRESSO". The first word is important to prevent confusion with another package in the field of condensed matter physics :"ESPResSo", Extensible Simulation Package for Research on Soft matter, http://www.espresso.mpg.de/ Although a bit outdated, "espresso" is actually an adjective. It used to mean "made on purpose" or "made on demand". This is the origin of the expression_r(note the common root of the words!) "espresso coffee", which is made on demand, rather than filtered and kept hot in a kettle. I think that it is because of its association with "coffee on demand" that at some pointthe word "espresso" came to mean "swift", or "quick" (because brewing espresso coffee is much faster than making filter coffee). As a matter of fact, the fastest Italian trains when I was a kid were named "espresso". So, "Quantum ESPRESSO" alludes to a blend of all these meanings: tasty (as good coffee), fashionable (as many Italian goods), user friendly (ready on demand), swift and powerful (as espresso trains), tech savy (as Illy coffee), a bit understating (you don't drink espresso coffee in very elegant cafes, but you can find small coffee places with a great reputation for their espresso), keeping awake/alive (as strong coffee should: please, notice the contrast with "siesta" . |
