Feng-hsiung+Hsu

Feng-hsiung Hsu ||~  || **Feng-hsiung Hsu**, (Feng-Hsiung Hsu) a Chinese American computer scientist. Creator of the VLSI-architecture of the chess entities ChipTest, Deep Thought and Deep Blue, which defeated [|Garry Kasparov] in 1997. In 1985, Feng-hsiung Hsu started with the chip design as Ph.D. Student at the Carnegie Mellon University, made his Ph.D. thesis //Large Scale Parallelization of Alpha-Beta Search: An Algorithmic and Architectural Study with Computer Chess// in 1989 under supervision of Hsiang-Tsung Kung and was then hired by IBM for the Deep Blue project. Hsu now manages the platforms and devices center of Microsoft [|Research Asia], in [|Beijing]. || toc =Photos=
