degree from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena, and the Ph.D. degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Cambridge, in 1963, all in electrical engineering.
In 8th grade he built a gantry crane with surplus motors brought home by his father. Sutherland describes himself as a visual thinker (“If I can picture possible solutions, I have a much better chance of finding the right one”), which led to his interest in computer graphics. and reports, handwritten notes and diagrams, presentation materials, patent applications, correspondence, memos, and code with his friend and colleague David C. Evans. There are also a significant number of technical papers that were Additionally, he worked as head of the US Defense Department Advanced History Museum. This portion of the collection also includes some files created by Sutherland,
It was purchased by Sun Microsystems in 1990 to form the seed of its research division, Sun Labs. Sutherland became a Fellow and Vice President at Sun Microsystems. Molnar's papers, later incorporating them into this collection on asynchronous computing. he passed away in 1996, he was working at Sun Microsystems on asynchronous circuits with Ivan Sutherland. Harvard University and then the University of Utah. In 1964, at age 26, First Lieutenant Sutherland replaced J. C. R. Licklider (who returned to private industry) as the head of the U.S. Department of Defense Advanced Research Project Agency's (DARPA) Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO). Wesley A. Clark Papers, Bernard Becker Medical Library Archives, Washington University School of Medicine.The Online Archive of California is an initiative of the California Digital Library. Sutherland has two children, Juliet and Dean, and four grandchildren, Belle, Robert, William and Rose. he worked at Sun Microsystems from 1990 to 1996. The materials are all related to asynchronous, also The company, of which Sutherland was Vice President and Chief Scientist, was located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
Washington University during the late 1960s. There is also a multi-volume final report on macromodular In addition, the collection holds one box of spiral-bound technical reports from Sun Microsystems Laboratories, which are authored and published by people and institutions outside of Sun Microsystems. In 2006 Ivan Sutherland married Marly Roncken, with whom he established the Asynchronous Research Center at Portland State University to develop self-timed asynchronous computers without the central clocks that must otherwise accommodate the slowest components. listings. In 1968 Sutherland co-founded Evans & Sutherland with his friend and colleague David C. Evans, whom he had met at the University of California Berkeley. by the Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) of the Department of Defense. The most common types of materials in the collection include technical papers
Collection surveyed by Sydney Gulbronson Olson, 2018.The Computer History Museum (CHM) can only claim physical ownership of the collection. ranging in date from 1975 to 1996, including conference proceedings, program libraries for DECUS, and reference books.
joined Sutherland at Sun Microsystems Laboratories, is well known for his work in neuromorphic, asynchronous computing. Abstract: The Ivan E. Sutherland collection on asynchronous computing ranges in date from 1966 to 1999 and contains materials from Sun Microsystems Laboratories and the Computer Systems Laboratory at Washington University related to asynchronous computing, known … Specifically, the documentation from ARPA is related to Wesley Clark's work on macromodules Research Project Agency's (ARPA) Information Processing Techniques Office (IPTO). of technical reports, hand-drawn diagrams, presentation transparencies, patent applications, internal and external correspondence, View entire collection guide computing. For a 12th grade science fair project, he made a magnetic drum memory with 128 2-bit words. Evans’ understanding of real-time computing held the key to implementing practical computer graphics. The Ivan E. Sutherland collection on asynchronous computing ranges in date from 1966 to 1999 and consists primarily of materials
computer design, which was completed in 1974. Finally, there is a small amount of miscellaneous publications Ivan's elder brother, Bert Sutherland, is also a prominent computer scientist.© 2019 Association for Computing Machinery. All rights reserved. Evans & Sutherland pioneered work in the field of real-time hardware, accelerated 3D computer graphics, and printer languages. These files are related to asynchronous computing research and contain drafts (electrical engineering) California Institute of Technology,1960; Ph.D. (electrical engineering) Massachusetts Institute of Technology,1963, Honorary M.A. when he worked at Sutherland's Sun Research laboratory during the 1990s. When In 2009, Ivan Sutherland married Marly Roncken, and together they established the Asynchronous Research Center at Portland State University to develop self-timed asynchronous computers (all computers are slowed down because their central processor’s clocks must accommodate their slowest components).
