Founded in 1986, the eXperimental Computing Facility (XCF) is an undergraduate computing-interest organization at University of California, Berkeley. The "Experimental" description was given in contrast to the Open Computing Facility and the Computer Science Undergraduate Association,[1] which support most of the general-interest computing desires of the campus. As such, the XCF stands as a focus for a small group of computer-scientists uniquely interested in computer science.
Members of the organization have been involved in projects such as NNTP,[2] GTK,[2][3] GIMP,[2][3] Gnutella,[2] and Viola.[2] Members of the XCF were instrumental in defending against the Morris Internet worm.[2][3]
Notable alumni of the organization include: Jonathan Blow,[4][5] Gene Kan,[2] Spencer Kimball,[2] Peter Mattis,[2] Pei-Yuan Wei,[2] and Phil Lapsley.[2][3]
