	John Cocke
		Cocke once recalled that when he was given his first bicycle at the age of 6, he dismantled it within a few hours, much to the chagrin of his mother, Mary.
		Cocke (rhymes with "sock") was the principal designer of the type of microprocessor that serves as the engine of most of today's large, powerful computers and the Apple Macintosh personal computers.
		John Cocke, a leading computer scientist whose inventions spanned an uncommon range of computing technology from software to microprocessors, died on Tuesday at a hospital in Valhalla, N.Y. He was 77.

	John Cocke Summary
		Cocke's lack of enthusiasm and curiosity, however, was confined to the classroom, and he tinkered with mechanical solutions to problems.
		John Cocke (May 30 1925 – July 16, 2002) was an American computer scientist recognised for his large contribution to computer architecture and optimizing compiler design.
		Cocke won the ACM Turing Award in 1987, the National Medal of Technology in 1991 and the National Medal of Science in 1994.

		Cocke's concept of the RISC resulted from his detailed study of the trade-offs between high performance machine organization and compiler optimization technology.
		Cocke contributed many detailed innovations in the 801 processor and associated optimizing PL.8 compiler, which was a redesign of the PL/1 compiler.
		Among his many achievements, Cocke was named an IBM Fellow in 1972; he won the Turing award in 1987; the National Medal of Technology in 1991; and the National Medal of Science in 1994.

		John Cocke (died July 16, 2002) was an American computer scientist recognised for his large contribution to computer architecture and optimizing compiler design.
		Cocke spent his entire career as an industrial researcher for IBM, from 1956 to 1992.
		Perhaps the project where his innovations were most noted was in the IBM 801 minicomputer, where his realization that matching the design of the architecture's instruction set to the relatively simple instructions actually emitted by compilers could allow high performance at a low cost.

	News Releases, Feature Stories and Profiles about Duke University's Pratt School of Engineering
		Cocke is well known for his contributions to the field of optimizing compilers, which convert commands from languages such as Pascal or C into the binary code of machine language that the computer understands.
		Cocke received the award based on his contributions in three areas of computer science: the development of RISC computers, the design and theory of compilers, and the architecture of large systems.
		Cocke is the first engineering graduate to receive an honorary degree from Duke, and it is entirely appropriate that this honor go to such a deserving recipient with an extraordinary record of accomplishments.

		John was hindered from moving fully into the role anticipated for him because he was severely afflicted by epilepsy, a condition which grew worse with each passing year and dominated the last two decades of his life until he died at the age of 42.
		John was easily and often embarrassed, and his frequent epileptic seizures led to his being shunned by outsiders; indeed, although he was one of the most eligible young bachelors in Virginia, he never married.
		Although John was fond of his stepmother, Louisa Maxwell Holmes Cocke, whom his father married in 1821, she called his seizures "spells of derangement" and claimed that he was "exceedingly profane" and given to "violent wrath," "blood-boiling" anger.

	Inventor of the Week: Archive
		Cocke was born in 1925 in Charlotte, North Carolina.
		Cocke decided to dismantle the more complicated instructions into simple, binary code, using logic and what he called "numerical tricks." These simpler elements of instructions were stored in an "instruction cache" and used piecemeal, as necessary, allowing the system to reach the same results as before but much more quickly.
		Although he considers himself "fantastically lazy," John Cocke is a true giant of the history of computing, and is one of the very few engineers to have won both the National Medal of Technology (1991) and the National Medal of Science (1994).

	Civil War in Powhatan - Cocke of Belmead
		Cocke’s story is especially interesting in that he possessed one true intent in the war--to equal the distinction his father attained during the War of 1812.
		Cocke was born on April 17, 1809 and raised in the area of Bremo.
		Cocke was commissioned a general by the State of Virginia; he was briefly separated from the Troop but reunited just prior to Manassas.

	Guardian \| John Cocke
		Cocke was born in Charlotte, North Carolina, and studied at Duke University, where his father - who was president of the Duke power company - served on the board of trustees.
		Cocke and his team started to design the computer controller, which became the 801 minicomputer, named after the building where they worked.
		Cocke was something of an eccentric, and reportedly could forget to cash his pay cheques or change his clothes.

		John Cocke's concept of the Reduced Instruction Set Computer (RISC) resulted from his detailed study of the trade-offs between high performance machine organization and compiler optimization.
		Cocke's RISC concept was contrary to the established direction of increasingly complex instruction sets and machines, and was consequently at variance with the dominant ideas of that time.

		Cocke was the principal designer of the types of microprocessors used as the engine in RISC - reduced instruction-set computers, which include large, powerful computers as well as the Apple Macintosh personal computer.
		Cocke was awarded ACM's prestigious Turing Award, known as the Nobel Prize of computer science, for "significant contributions in the design and theory of compilers, the architecture of large systems and the development of reduced instruction set computers (RISC)," as the citation noted.
		Cocke was a founder and key innovator of the technology of compiler optimization, now used systematically throughout the computer industry to enable computers programmed in higher level languages to reach efficiency levels comparable to more expensive and time-consuming programming techniques.

		Both Charles Cocke and John Ewing were "long-hunters" and made several claims to land in the Powell Valley.
		Second, if John Ewing had waited until 1770-71 to move to Cripple Creek, then Charles and Ellender would not have had very much time to meet, marry and conceive their first child Jane, who was born in 1772.
		Interestingly, if John Ewing did move to Prince Edward County around 1760, there is a chance that he ran into the Charles and Jester Cocke from Lunenburg County sometime during their westward move to Cripple Creek.

		When Cocke was away from home on his frequent trips to oversee the work of his other plantations, Ann conducted affairs on the homefront with care, keeping her husband informed by mail of her progress.
		Cocke's response to the Deportaton Act of 1806 has not survived but he would have been adamantly opposed to the measure, not because he was against encouraging freedmen to leave the state, but because its restrictions discouraged slaveowners from freeing slaves at all.
		Cocke was warned by one friend not to marry her; his position did not warrant it and haste would be regrettable.

	John Cocke
		The evidence that this John Cocke was the son of Charles Cocke and Ellender Ewing is fairly conclusive:
		The John Cocke mentioned in the Will appears to be the John Cocke who married Mary Evart Vaughan, since, in 1797, they sold 200 acres of land along Trading Creek to James Fulkerson.
		During his stay in Wayne County, John Cocke appears to have involved in some kind of dispute with a couple of individuals, leading to accusations that he had stolen a horse and (of all things!) a beehive.

	Computer: An Interview with John Cocke
		A legend in the computer architecture community, John Cocke has been involved in the design of several machines that have made a tremendous impact on current processor design, including the IBM Stretch; the Advanced Computer System (ACS); and the 801, RS/6000, and PowerPC processors.
		Perhaps best known as a pioneer of ideas that led to reduced instruction set computing (RISC), Cocke is also much admired for a broad interest in and understanding of technology that spans mathematics, compilers, architecture, circuits, packaging, and design automation, to name a few.
		Cocke: When you couple machines tightly, you get a lot of interference, and the addition of the second machine doesn’t come close to doubling performance.
