Lawrence Moser Breed is a computer scientist, artist and inventor, best known for his involvement in the APL programming language. == Career == As an undergraduate at Stanford University in 1961, he created the first computer animation language and system and used it at Stanford football half-times to coordinate images produced by a 100 ft-by-100 ft array of rooters holding up colored cards.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=A (Spotty) History and Who's Who of Computer Graphics, by Matthew Ward )〕 As a graduate student at Stanford, he corresponded with APL's inventor, Ken Iverson, to correct the formal description of the IBM System/360 which used Iverson's notation.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Larry Breed biography from Vintage Computing )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Larry Breed biography from the Computer History Museum )〕 After receiving his M.S. from Stanford in 1965, he joined Iverson's group at IBM's Thomas J. Watson Research Center in Yorktown Heights, New York, where he created the first implementation of APL, with Philip S. Abrams, on the IBM 7090 in 1965;〔(Obituary for Kenneth Iverson, Mathematician, 1920–2004 ), Monday, October 25, 2004, in the Toronto Globe and Mail〕〔(The Socio-Technical Beginnings of APL ), by Eugene McDonnell〕〔(''The Design of APL'' ) by Adin D. Falkoff and Kenneth E. Iverson, IBM Journal of Research and Development, Volume 17, Number 4, 1973. (dead link behind paywall; (Wayback Machine backup link ))〕 Abrams' academic supervisor being Niklaus Wirth.〔(), An interpreter for ''Iverson notation''〕 He later created APL implementations for an experimental IBM "Little Computer" in 1966, for the IBM 360 in 1966, and for the IBM 1130.〔(How We Got To APL\1130 ) by Larry Breed〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Phil Abrams' machine implementation of APL )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=APL Blossom Time (song lyrics about the creation of APL) )〕 Breed was the 1973 recipient (with Dick Lathwell and Roger Moore) of the Grace Murray Hopper Award from the Association for Computing Machinery "for their work in the design and implementation of APL\360, setting new standards in simplicity, efficiency, reliability and response time for interactive systems."〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=Association for Computing Machinery )〕 With Dan Dyer and others he co-founded Scientific Time Sharing Corporation in 1969, where he led the development of the APL PLUS time-sharing system. While there, in 1972, he and Francis Bates III wrote one of the world's first worldwide email systems, called "Mailbox".〔(APL Quotations and Anecdotes ), including Leslie Goldsmith's story of the Mailbox〕 Breed rejoined IBM in 1977. He helped develop the ISO APL standard, then joined IBM efforts to port BSD Unix onto IBM platforms. He worked on C language compilers, floating point standardization, and radix conversion until retiring in 1992. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lawrence M. Breed」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
