The Turing Award, established in 1966 by the American Computer Society (ACM), is also called the.M. Turing Award, which specifically rewards individuals who make important contributions to the computer industry. The name is taken from the pioneers of computer science and British scientists. Because the Turing Award has extremely high requirements on the award conditions, the award process is extremely strict. Generally, only one computer scientist is rewarded each year, this award is shared by only a small number of scientists with two collaborators or who have contributed in the same direction each year. Therefore, it is one of the most prestigious and lofty awards in the computer industry, known as the "Nobel Prize in the computer industry. From 1966 to 2013, a total of 61 scientists won the 46 Turing awards, including the largest number of American scholars and a few scholars from Britain, Switzerland, the Netherlands, and Israel. By 2013, only one Chinese person had won this award. He was Yao Zhizhi, winner of the 2000 Turing Award.
