Metcalfe’s renowned 1973 memo on a “broadcast communication network” proposed linking the first personal computers, PARC’s Altos, in a single building, which paved a way for the devices to talk to each other and share information in a local area network. The first Ethernet clocked in at 2.94 megabits per second, approximately 10,000 times faster th...
Metcalfe and Boggs cooked up a recipe of Jerrold taps, Manchester encoding, and ALOHA randomized retransmissions to bring Ethernet to life. The first would puncture the coaxial cable and attach to the semiconductor without cutting the cable. Manchester encoding allowed the clock to be in the packet. Finally, ALOHA randomized retransmissions allowed...
MIT has long been a second home to Metcalfe, where he could not stay away for long. From 1970 to 1972, he worked on putting MIT on the ARPANET in J.C.R. Licklider’s dynamic modeling systems group. “This was all on the ninth floor of Tech Square — where everything interesting in the world was happening” says Metcalfe. “I returned to MIT in 1979, aft...
ACM A.M. Turing Award Honors Bob Metcalfe for Invention, Standardization, and Commercialization of Ethernet. Metcalfe is recognized for creating the foundational technology of the Internet which supports more than 5 billion users and enables much of modern life.
Mar 22, 2023 · Today Metcalfe was named the winner of the A.M. Turing Award, an annual prize considered the highest honor in computer science, for his part in ushering in our hyperconnected age. Fifty years ago, Metcalfe helped invent Ethernet, the local networking technology that links personal computers around the world to the global internet.
ACM named Robert Metcalfe recipient of the 2022 ACM A.M. Turing Award for leading the invention, standardization, and commercialization of Ethernet local-area networking technology. Metcalfe is Emeritus Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) at The University of Texas at Austin.
