Close

2002年，在他去世前不久，艾兹赫尔获得了ACM PODC（分布式计算原理）最具影响力论文奖，以表彰他在分布式领域中关于程序计算自稳定的贡献。为了纪念他，这个每年一度奖项也在此后被更名为“Dijkstra奖”。

他曾经提出“GOTO有害论”，信号量和PV原语（passeren vrijgeven），解决了“哲学家就餐问题”。

生平

艾兹赫尔·韦伯·戴克斯特拉出生于鹿特丹，大学就读于莱顿大学，研究理论物理学。^[10]^[11]但他很快就发现自己的兴趣是电脑科学。1980年代，担任埃因霍温理工大学教授。

2002年8月6日，戴克斯特拉在荷兰尼嫩自己的家中与世长辞。终年72岁。

学术贡献

他的贡献包括：

提出了目前在离散数学中应用广泛的最短路径算法（Dijkstra's Shortest Path First Algorithm）
为解决操作系统中资源分配问题，提出银行家算法。

In his 2004 memoir, "A Programmer's Story: The Life of a Computer Pioneer", Brinch Hansen wrote that he used "Cooperating Sequential Processes" to guide his work implementing multiprogramming on the RC 4000, and described it saying, "One of the great works in computer programming, this masterpiece laid the conceptual foundation for concurrent programming."

Dijkstra started the field of concurrent and distributed algorithms with his 1965 CACM paper "Solution of a Problem in Concurrent Programming Control", in which he first stated and solved the mutual exclusion problem. That paper is probably why PODC exists; it certainly inspired most of my work.
