Chuck Thacker receives Turing Award
Blogs On Semiconductor - Wed, 03/10/2010 - 12:05
EETimes has an interview with Chuck Thacker, who just won ACM's Turing Award. It caught my eye as I've talked about transactional memory in previous posts, which Chuck mentions in this interview as one of the areas he's currently exploring in the parallel architecture space.
This made me think, as it came up recently, of an interview he did for the Computer Museum where, talking about Dave Conroy, Thacker says: "Dave is one of the few people I know that’s actually a better engineer than I am." I got a kick out of this quote when I first heard it -- but the funny thing is that someone I respect very much said that there truly are very few engineers better than Thacker.
