Heinz Schecher

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinz Schecher (born April 26, 1922 in Weißenburg ; † October 9, 1984 ) was a German mathematician , computer scientist and university professor .

Life

Heinz Schecher began studying physics at the Technical University of Munich in 1948 , which he completed in 1952. In November 1951 he joined Robert Sauer's mathematics group , the founder of Munich's computer science.

Heinz Schecher, along with Friedrich L. Bauer , Klaus Samelson , Hans-Otto Leilich and Walter Proebster, was part of the team led by Professors Robert Sauer and Hans Piloty , which developed and developed the PERM computer at the Technical University of Munich from 1952 to 1955 played an important role in building computer science at the university. In this context, Heinz Schecher invented and patented indirect addressing in 1953 . At TUM, he pushed the establishment of a technical informatics group .

Schecher received his doctorate in 1956 at the Technical University of Munich under Josef Heinhold with the dissertation “ Measures to simplify calculation plans in electronic computing systems ”. From 1959 to 1969 was Schecher lecturer at Oskar-von-Miller - Polytechnic .

In 1970 he completed his habilitation, became a private lecturer at the Technical University of Munich and then worked at the Mathematical Institute. In 1972 Schecher turned to microprogramming and came into contact with Intel . Since 1975 he worked on the emulation of microprocessors.

Schecher was appointed associate professor in 1976 . From 1977 he worked on the design and implementation of hardware description languages on the register transfer level and in 1980 he turned to the programming of bit-slice processors.
