Quality Software Management founder 's efforts vital to
success of projects
July 29, 1996 - Quality Software Management is pleased to announce
that Mercury Computer has awarded the Michael Schneider Award
for Excellence to Alan Lehotsky for his development efforts on
both their SHARC DSP product and on their PowerPC based heterogeneous
multi-processor systems.
The Schneider Award recognizes efforts above and beyond normal
responsibilities and duties, and normally is given to outstanding
employees of Mercury Computer, who have distinguished themselves
by their performance in meeting customer needs.
Alan Lehotsky, founder of Quality Software Management, was responsible
for modifications to the C compiler for the SHARC DSP chip. These
modifications were crucial to Mercury's heterogeneous high-performance
multiprocessor computer strategy. Other compiler enhancements
provided code-optimization, increased floating-point accuracy
and runtime performance, as well as improvements to compile-time
error detection. The stability and reliability of the compiler
was valuable in meeting project milestones and in giving Mercury's
customers confidence in the quality of Mercury's SHARC-based products.
