Josh Fisher
Joseph A. "Josh" Fisher is an American computer scientist.
Fisher studied mathematics at New York University and computer science at the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences of New York University with a master's degree and doctorate in 1979 (The Optimization of Horizontal Microcode within and Beyond Basic Blocks: an Application of Processor Scheduling with Resources).
In 1984 he was one of the founders of Multiflow, a mini supercomputer manufacturer that lasted until 1990 and a pioneer in Very Long Instruction Word (VLIW) architecture. At the same time, this also happened with their competitors Cydrome ( Bob Rau ) and Culler-Harrison ( Glen Culler ).
In 1990 he went to Hewlett-Packard (HP), where he applied the VLIW technology in the PA-WW (Precision Architecture Wide-Word) project, from which the Intel IA-64 architecture emerged in the mid-1990s as a result of the collaboration between Intel and HP.
In 2003 he received the Eckert-Mauchly Award . He received the Very Large Instruction World (VLIW) award for the discovery of computer architecture , as did his colleague at HP Bob Rau. In 1983 he received the President's Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation and in 1987 the Eli Whitney Connecticut Entrepreneur of the Year Award. He is a Senior Fellow at Hewlett-Packard.
