  Richard Karp - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Richard M. Karp (born 1935) is a computer scientist, notable for research in the theory of algorithms, for which he received a Turing Award in 1985.
Karp was also the recipient of the 2004 Benjamin Franklin Medal in Computer and Cognitive Science for his insights into computational complexity.
Karp introduced the now standard methodology for proving problems to be NP-complete which has led to the identification of many theoretical and practical problems as being computationally difficult.

 Parallel Computing Pioneers - Richard M. Karp
Karp decided to leave IBM for the University of California (U.C.) Berkeley, where he was a Professor of Computer Science, Mathematics, and Operations Research from 1968 to 1994.
Karp's research in this area has also focused on the powerful role of randomization in the construction of efficient parallel algorithms, the proof of lower bounds on the complexity of parallel computation, and the recognition that communication is the limiting resource in most applications of parallel processing.
Karp's current research is concerned with strategies for sequencing the human genome, the physical mapping of large DNA molecules, the analysis of gene expression data, and other combinatorial problems arising in molecular biology.

 Richard Karp
Richard M. Karp was educated at the Boston Latin School and Harvard University, where he received a Ph.D. in Applied Mathematics in 1959.
His most significant work is the 1972 paper, Reducibility Among Combinatorial Problems, which shows that many of the most commonly studied combinatorial problems are disguised versions of a single underlying problem, and thus are all of essentially the same computational complexity.
His current research is concerned with strategies for sequencing the human genome, the physical mapping of large DNA molecules, the analysis of gene expression data, and other combinatorial problems arising in molecular biology.
