Alan Turing's Achievements

Alan Turing's Achievements

     Alan Turing had many achievements. First, he made Turing machine that is abstract accounting machine. Despite its simplicity, Turing machine can be adapted to simulate the logic of any computer algorithm and it is particularly useful in explaining the functions of a CPU inside a computer. Second, he made Turing bombe. Turing bombe was an electromechanical device used by British cryptologists to help decipher German Enigma-machine-encrypted secret messages during World War II. Finally, he proposed Turing test. Turing test is a test of machine's ability to exhibit intelligent behavior equivalent to human. Like this, he left a lot of achievements for computer engineering, so he is father of computer engineering that made our life comfortable.
