100) In Memorium: Richard Tan
Summary
There have been all the transitions from GRTMPS-II to G5 – both the user interfaces and the expanded naming systems, the addition of input and reporting databases, the expansion of non-linear optimization into refinery planning, the integration between H/CAMS and GRTMPS in the form of CPO and the H/COMET product. We were in many ways, birds of a feather – happy to sit at our desks working away, unable to resist an interesting problem, We always interacted by E-mail – not phone – to avoid interrupting each other. A very pleasant memory of working with Richard is the summer we spent figuring out how to extend the Adherent Recursion code to take account of the extra impact of changing density on non-model basis properties. On those afternoons where I realised I just couldn’t get through all the tech support e-mail, it was good knowing that he would be coming on line shortly and could pick up where I had to leave off. Last week while debugging a badly behaved model, I found a little bug in the matrix generation code that had slipped through my testing.
