David Andrew Patterson (born November 16, 1947) is an American
Patterson is noted for his pioneering contributions to reduced instruction set computer (RISC) design, having coined the term RISC, and by leading the Berkeley RISC project.[9] As of 2018, 99% of all new chips use a RISC architecture.[10][11] He is also noted for leading the research on redundant arrays of inexpensive disks (RAID) storage, with Randy Katz.[12]
His books on computer architecture, co-authored with John L. Hennessy, are widely used in computer science education. Hennessy and Patterson won the 2017 Turing Award for their work in developing RISC.

Research and career
Patterson is an important advocate and developer of the concept of
Past positions
Past chair of the Computer Science Division at U.C. Berkeley and the Computing Research Association, he served on the Information Technology Advisory Committee for the U.S. President (PITAC) during 2003–05 and was elected president of the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM) for 2004–06.[19]
Notable PhD students
He has advised several notable Ph.D. students,[13][20] including:
- David Ditzel, founder and former president of Transmeta
- Garth A. Gibson, co-inventor of redundant array of inexpensive disks (RAID), founder and CTO of Panasas, professor at Carnegie Mellon University, and first president and chief executive officer of the Vector Institute
- Christos Kozyrakis, professor at Stanford University
- David Ungar, designer of the Self programming language, and currently researcher at IBM Research
- Remzi Arpaci-Dusseau, Grace Wahba professor and Chair of Computer Sciences at UW-Madison.
Selected publications
Patterson co-authored seven books, including two with

Awards and honors
Patterson's work has been recognized by about 40 awards for research, teaching, and service, including Fellow of the
In 2013, he set the American Powerlifting Record for the state of California for his weight class and age group in bench press, dead lift, squat, and all three combined lifts.[26]
On February 12, 2015, IEEE installed a plaque at UC Berkeley to commemorate the contribution of RISC-I[27] in Soda Hall at UC Berkeley. The plaque reads:
- IEEE Milestone in Electrical and Computer Engineering
- First RISC (Reduced Instruction Set Computing) Microprocessor
- UC Berkeley students designed and built the first VLSI reduced instruction-set computer in 1981. The simplified instructions of RISC-I reduced the hardware for instruction decode and control, which enabled a flat 32-bit address space, a large set of registers, and pipelined execution. A good match to C programs and the Unix operating system, RISC-I influenced instruction sets widely used today, including those for game consoles, smartphones and tablets.
On March 21, 2018, he was awarded the 2017 ACM A.M. Turing Award together with John L. Hennessy for developing RISC.[10] The award attributed them for pioneering "a systematic, quantitative approach to the design and evaluation of computer architectures with enduring impact on the microprocessor industry".[11]
In 2022 he was awarded the Charles Stark Draper Prize by the National Academy of Engineering alongside John L. Hennessy, Steve Furber and Sophie Wilson for contributions to the invention, development, and implementation of reduced instruction set computer (RISC) chips.[28][29]
Charitable work
From 2003 to 2012 he rode in the annual Waves to Wine MS charity event as part of
