Hermann Zabel

Hermann Zabel (22 September 1832, Neu-Katzow – 26 April 1912, Gotha) was a German botanist who specialized in the field of dendrology.

From 1854 to 1860 he was employed as an assistant at the botanical garden and museum in Greifswald. From 1869 to 1895 he was director of the forestry botanical garden in Hannoversch Münden. In retirement he took up residence in the city of Gotha.[1][2]

The genus Zabelia (Rehder) Makino is named in his honor,[1] as are taxa with the specific epithets of zabeliana and zabelii.[3][4]

gollark: It's kind of funny that the entire RPi3 GPU has less throughput than a single core of my CPU.
gollark: Exactly.
gollark: > The VideoCore IV GPU, in the configuration as found in the Raspberry Pi models, has a theoretical maximum performance of 24 GPFLOS and is therefore very powerful in comparison to the host CPU. The GPU (which is located on the same chip as the CPU) has 12 cores, able of running independent instructions each, supports a SIMD vector-width of 16 elements natively and can access the RAM directly via DMA.So obviously ALL should write code for the VC4.
gollark: Good ideaeae!
gollark: How come it only has CPU architectures? It should run on GPUs too.
