Amdahl, Gene (1922-1998)

US computer engineer and hardware designer. Amdahl designed his first computer as part of his PhD dissertation, and then worked for International Business Machines (IBM) where he led the design of the IBM 704 in the 1950s, and the S/360 series of computers in the early 1960s which came to dominate the world of mainframes. In 1970, he founded Amdahl Corporation, then the largest manufacturer of IBM-compatible computers, to develop the first ‘plug compatible’ computers that would run the same software as IBM's machines. In 1980, he formed Trilogy to build large computers.
