John Leroy Hennessy (born 22 September, 1952) is an American computer scientist and chairman of Alphabet Inc.[8] Hennessy is one of the founders of MIPS Technologies and Atheros, serving as 10th president of Stanford University from 2000 to 2016. He was succeeded as president by Marc Tessier-Lavigne.[9] Marc Andreessen called him "the godfather of Silicon Valley."[10]

Along with David Patterson, Hennessy was a recipient of the 2017 Turing Award for their work in developing the reduced instruction set computer (RISC) architecture, which is now used in 99% of new computer chips.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17]
