The award carries the name of a mathematician lecturer at Manchester University, Alan Turing (1912-1954) one of the founders of theoretical computer science and artificial intelligence. The value of the award during the period from 2007 to 2013, $ 250 thousand with the support of my company Intel and Google.
Although there is no prize for Computer Science within the Nobel prize, the Turing Award has become a very rewarding financially after large grant that Google announced its submission, and made it compares the value of the Nobel Prize amounting to (starting in 2012) of $ 1.2 million.
