Stephen Paul Morse (born May 1940) is the architect of theIntel 8086 chip[1] and is the originator of the "One Step" search page tools used by genealogists.
Morse was born inBrooklyn,New York. He has degrees in electrical engineering from theCity College of New York, thePolytechnic Institute of Brooklyn andNew York University.
Morse worked forBell Laboratories,IBM's Watson Research Center, Intel, and General Electric Corporate Research and Development. He was a principal architect of Intel 8086 microprocessor chip, designed by Intel between early 1976 and June 8, 1978.
He is quoted as saying:
"While I'd like to think that thePC wouldn't exist today if I hadn't designed the 8086, the reality is that it would be based on some other processor family. The instruction set would be radically different, but there would still be a PC. I was just fortunate enough to be at the right place at the right time."[2]
In the early 2000s,[2] he has applied his technology expertise to web-based genealogy search tools. His "One Step" search pages are widely used by genealogists all over the world. He is also a co-author, with linguistAlexander Beider, of theBeider–Morse phonetic name matching algorithm.[3][4]
