High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The A. M. Turing Award is given annually by the Association for Computing Machinery to "an individual selected for contributions of a technical nature made to the computing community. The contributions should be of lasting and major technical importance to the computer field". The Turing Award is recognized as the "highest distinction in Computer Science" and the "Nobel Prize of computing". The award is named after Alan Mathison Turing, a British mathematician who is "frequently credited for being the father of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence". As of 2007, the award is accompanied by a prize of $250,000, co-sponsored by Intel and Google. The first recipient, in 1966, was Alan Perlis, then of Carnegie Institute of Technology. Frances E. Allen of IBM, in 2006, was the first female recipient in the award's forty year history.
