Maríus Ólafsson, an Icelandic computer scientist, internet pioneer , technical staff at University of Iceland, and network manager at RHnet. During the 80s, while affiliated with the University of Alberta, he researched along with Tony Marsland and Jonathan Schaeffer on Parallel Search and Virtual Tree Machines, a fixed finite network of processors together with an algorithm for deciding when and where to solve each subproblem. He was mentioned as co-author of Sun Phoenix at ACM 1988 and apparently contributed to the parallel search .
