Susan L. Graham
Susan Lois Graham ( born September 16, 1942 in Cleveland ( Ohio)) is an American computer scientist. It is primarily concerned with programming languages and environments for their development.
Graham studied mathematics at Harvard University (Bachelor 1964) and at Stanford University, where she made in 1966 a master's degree and doctorate in 1971. In addition, it was in 1969 at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University. In 1971, she was assistant professor of computer science at the University of California, Berkeley, where she was a professor since 1976 and an associate since 1981 a full professorship has (later Pehong Chen Distinguished Professor ). She is now Professor Emeritus.
In the 1960s, she was involved in the Algol - development and the Berkeley Unix Project, especially on the Pascal development (1977). She also developed the gprof profiler (part of GNU Binutils ). They looked at parsing, code generation and optimization of compilers and developed several programming environments such as Harmonia for interactive software development and Titanium, a Java-based language and development environment for parallel computing.
In 1994 she was a Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM ). She is also a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, the National Academy of Engineering and the American Association for the Advancement of Science. 1975 to 1979 she was co-editor of the Communications of the ACM, and from 1978 to 1992 editor ( and founder ) of ACM Transactions on Programming Languages and Systems. In 2009 she received the John von Neumann Medal of the IEEE. In 2000 she received the ACM SIGPLAN Career Programming Language Achievement Award, the 2006 ACM Distinguished Service Award, 2008, the Harvard Medal and 2009, the Berkeley Citation.
She was from 1997 to 2005 senior computer scientist at the National Partnership for Advanced Computational Infrastructure ( NPACI ) and the Information Technology Advisory Committee of the U.S. President ( PITAC ). She was with Marc Snir 2005 co-editor of a report by the National Research Council on the future of high performance computing ( supercomputing ).
She has been married since 1971.
