Michael J. Flynn (born May 20, 1934) [1] is an American professor emeritus at Stanford University. [2]
Early life and education
Flynn was born in New York City.
Career
Flynn proposed Flynn's taxonomy, a method of classifying parallel digital computers, in 1966. [3]
In the early 1970s, he was the founding chairman of IEEE Computer Society's Technical Committee on Computer Architecture (TCCA) [4] and Association for Computing Machinery's Special Interest Group on Computer Architecture, ACM SIGARCH (initially SICARCH). [5] Flynn encouraged, from the beginning, joint cooperation between the two groups [6] which now sponsors many leading joint symposiums and conferences like ACM/IEEE International Symposium on Computer Architecture (ISCA). [7]
In 1995 he received a Harry H. Goode Memorial Award.
In 2009, Flynn received an honorary doctorate from the University of Belgrade.
Flynn co-founded Palyn Associates with Maxwell Paley and in 2014 is Chairman of Maxeler Technologies.
