C. Gordon Bell Biography:
Professor of Computer Science and Electrical Engineering, Carnegie-Mellon University
C. Gordon Bell (August 19, 1934) is a leading computer engineer and manager, an early employee of Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) who designed several of their PDP machines and later oversaw the development of the VAX.
An acquaintance of DEC founders Ken Olsen and Harlan Anderson, they recruited him for their new company in 1960, where he designed the I/O subsystem of the PDP-1, PDP-4, PDP-5, and PDP-6. He also helped design the PDP-11.
After making a name for himself at DEC, Bell went to Carnegie-Mellon University in 1966 to teach computer science, but returned to DEC in 1972 as vice-president of engineering, where he was in charge of the VAX, DEC's most successful computer.
He received the IEEE John von Neumann Medal in 1992.
A cofounder of The Computer Museum in 1979, and a founding board member of The Computer History Museum in 1999.
