Infosys Ltd.

Infosys Foundation and ACM (the Association for Computing Machinery) has declared that Jeffrey Dean and Sanjay Ghemawat are the recipients of the 2012 ACM-Infosys Foundation Award in the Computing Sciences. They led the conception, design, and implementation of much of Google's revolutionary software infrastructure, which underlies the company's web search and indexing, as well as numerous applications across the industry.

This technology has been emulated by virtually every major Internet company in the world. Dean and Ghemawat's research describing the scalable infrastructure they created was pivotal to the burgeoning field of cloud computing, which delivers resources over the Internet.

The ACM-Infosys Foundation Award (http://awards.acm.org/infosys) recognizes the finest recent innovations by young scientists and system developers to the computing field. An endowment from the Infosys Foundation provides financial support for the $175,000 annual award. ACM-Infosys Foundation Awards will be held on June 15, in San Francisco.
