NEW YORK (AP) - New support from Google Inc. will help increase the cash prize for the annual Turing Award, one of the most prestigious honors in computing, to $250,000 from $100,000.
The Association for Computing Machinery, which gives the Turing Awards, said Thursday that Google was joining Intel Corp. as a sponsor. Each company will contribute $125,000.
The award, named for British mathematician and computing pioneer Alan Turing, was first given in 1966. Intel became a sponsor in 2002, upping the award from $25,000 to $100,000.
