She is the first female founding member of Microsoft's Direct 3D Advisory Board and Graphics Advisory Board. Besides gaming, she had programmed on the Space Shuttle Project at Rockwell International California. She had designed and conducted accelerator experiments at LINAC in California and the accelerator at Brookhaven National Laboratory. Her nuclear physics research had won her a national award from the U.S. Department of Energy. She volunteered time in the past to advise on CUDA, visual computer and GPU simulation at NVidia. She remains active on the GAB and continues to volunteer time to review the designs of new Direct 3Ds. en Fri, 24 May 2013 10:01:06 GMT Fri, 24 May 2013 10:01:06 GMT Rev9 Re: Corrinne Yu: Principal Engine Architect, Halo Team Microsoft Great interview:

  • Lots of technical insight from someone at the top
  • First insight into any of the engineers at 343 (get a community site, ye slowpokes)
Corrinne's passion & intelligence are kind of motivating, hope I can reach that level of confidence in my programming knowledge and experience.
Guess this interview meant a little extra to me, because it has been my motivation to fufill the dream of being a programmer at Bungie (which 343 is certainly close to, for now).
Hope ye do more of these.

Edit: Thanks for asking my question. Smiley

IMHO her dress was just fine. no where near some of the stuff i have seen.

 

but I was trained in my youth to not drool over a nice looking lady.

And talk about a dream-girl, smart and extremely beautiful (I don't think there is anythign wrong with stating someone is beautiful).

Let me say that neither her expertise and knowledge nor inerest in game programming that made me click on this video. There were two other great reasons for why I viewed this. And tell you what I am out of here.

I wonder if Corrine is thinking of languages like Single-Assignment C or more along the lines of D.

 

(Assuming the Larry Osterman interview will be of similar quality then we'll be in for a treat Smiley )

Glad to see some real concern about bugs, sometimes a simple bug might break the complete game experience.

 

I would also like to see some opinions on D for game programming, that's one of the fields it seems promising.

Her expertise and knowledge of development was..wow.

 

Would like to see more like this.

I dont think there is any fault in saying that.

I see some of them have been knocked down by her personality Cool

About dressing it is for her to decide what suits her professionally...

honestly I was admiring everything about her...

(hint the answer is 0) pretty much everyone I've seen has been a T shirt wearing (you’re lucky if it’s clean) guy, you people are sexist, she is casually dressed for a casual work environment.

focusing on anything but the knowledge and skillz conveyed in this interview is what's unprofessional.

Anways, she is incredibly smart it seems.  I still can't believe how bad ODST/Halo3 look when compared to other big games out there.

I seriously hope this ain't becoming the standard for C9 interviews now…
