Hank Levy (computer scientist)
Henry M. "Hank" Levy (* 1952 ) is an American computer engineer. In the 1990s, he and Susan Eggers were among the developers of Simultaneous Multithreading (SMT).
Life
Levy started out as a computer engineer at Digital Equipment Corporation , where he was one of the developers of the VMS operating system for VAX computers. He has been at the University of Washington since 1983, where he received his doctorate in 1981 under Edward Lazowska (* 1950) and where he is Wissner-Slivka Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and Director of the Paul G. Allen School for Computer Science and Engineering there .
Levy deals with computer architecture, operating systems, the Internet (including cloud computing ) and distributed systems. In the 1980s he was involved in the development of the object-oriented programming language for distributed systems, Emerald.
He is a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), whose SIGOPS (Special Interest Group on Operating Systems) he chaired, and a Fellow of the National Academy of Engineering .
Levy founded two computer companies: Skytap in Seattle for cloud computing and 2000 Performant Inc. for Java-based management of computing power, acquired by Mercury in 2003.
