BiographyBorn in Water Valley, Mississippi, Davis received his BA in Electrical Engineering in 1950 at Oklahoma State University–Stillwater, and his MA in Applied Mathematics in 1961 from Harvard University.[2] After graduating from Oklahoma State Davis started working at IBM in Memphis, TN and was relocated to Poughkeepsie, New York as an engineer in the mid-1950s.[3] In the late 1950s he was promoted to Staff Engineer.[4] In the 1960s Davis received multiple patents[5][6][7] and was among the small group of engineers working under Gene Amdahl and Fred Brooks who designed the architecture for the System/360.[1] The IBM System/360 (S/360) was a mainframe computer system family announced by IBM on April 7, 1964 and delivered between 1965 and 1978.[8] It was the first family of computers designed to cover the complete range of applications, from small to large, both commercial and scientific. The design made a clear distinction between architecture and implementation allowing IBM to release a suite of compatible designs at different prices. In the 1970s at IBM Davis became project leader of the development of a computer-aided air traffic control system for the Federal Aviation Administration, which was originally specified at Lincoln Laboratory. In 1989 he retired from IBM after almost 40 years of employment.[1] AwardsOver the years Davis has received several awards:
