Top 40 universities
The United States is the world information center, and its computer technology leads the world.

The best computer universities in America rank in the top 20.

Generally speaking, the top 20 schools in computer science can be divided into three categories:

A. The four best computer science projects: Stanford, MIT, UC Berkeley, CMU.

B other six universities 10: UIUC, Cornell university, Washington university, Princeton university, university of Wisconsin-Madison, university of Texas at Austin. Among them, UIUC, Cornell, U.Washington and U.Wisconsin-Madison almost never entered the former 10.

C. Other very, very excellent CS: California Institute of Technology, University of Maryland at Park, University of California at Los Angeles, University of Michigan, GIT, Brown, Harvard, Yale, Purdue and Rice.

1. Stanford University

CS in Stanford is a big CS, with more than 40 faculty members, including Edward A. Feigenbaum (john mccarthy), a well-known and stiff Turing Prize winner, and big names in various disciplines, such as Donald E. Knuth; , theoretical authority; Jeffrey D. Ullman in the database (he also wrote the famous compilation principle, who is from Princeton); And john hennessy, one of the leading figures in RISC technology. I believe that CS students are no strangers to this. The department graduates more than 30 doctoral students and more master students every year. The way out for students is naturally like a duck to water. Stanford students are favored by both academia and industry. Almost all the top 10 CS schools have Stanford graduates as professors.

Jim clark graduated from the University of Utah and used to be a professor of computer science at Stanford University. Later, it was this man who founded SGI, a giant in the field of high-performance computer and scientific computing visualization. The origin of the name of Sun Company is the Stanford University Network. By the way, Yang Zhiyuan, a China native who founded Yahoo, studied for a doctorate at EE in Stanford, and later dropped out of school to run Yahoo.

In CS research, Stanford is a top company in theory, database, software, hardware, AI and other fields.

Master. Stanford's RISC technology later became the core technology of SGI/MIPS Rx000 series microprocessors; DASH and FLASH projects are the frontiers of multiprocessor parallel computer research. SUIF parallel compiler has become the focus of state funding.

Project, the SUIF compiler mentioned in international academic papers seems to add some beauty to some mediocre papers.

Stanford has14,000 students, including more than 7,000 graduate students. In CS, there are 175 people studying for doctor's degree and 350 people studying for master's degree. The number of students enrolled each year is unknown, which is estimated to be indispensable. But don't forget, nearly a thousand students apply for Stanford CS every year. The application fee is as high as 80 dollars.

Stanford University is located in Silicon Valley, the center of the information world. California's pleasant climate and beautiful scenery make

Stanford is a paradise for CS. 33. The campus area of1square kilometer is even enough for students to cross the river and dominate the world.

Yes

2. Massachusetts Institute of Technology

It seems that MIT enrollment does not look at GRE scores. CS of MIT is a giant cow, and the latest ranking of 1999 had a fight with Stanford.

Out of 5.0, they tied for the first place. MIT's computer science has made indelible contributions to the development of computer science and data stream computing.

Many great achievements in thought and data flow, computer and artificial intelligence have influenced the X-window of the whole UNIX world.

... MIT, like Stanford, is the school of almost all the giants in the CS field. According to the information provided by a soldier:

The popularity of media arts and sciences in MIT is not under the computer department. Mainly multimedia technology, information processing and artificial intelligence. There are a large number of famous professors, such as Marvin Minsky (Turing Prize winner).

3. University of California at Berkeley

UC。 Berkeley is also located on the San Francisco Bay, in Silicon Valley, only about 50 kilometers away from Stanford, and it is one of the most radical schools in the United States. In the 1960s, hippie culture, anti-Vietnam War, oriental mysticism and returning to natural culture all began.

Originated from this. The poet allen ginsberg is the spokesman of the University of California. Berkeley.

In today's high-tech field, UC. Berkeley is creating new myths in literature, mathematics, chemistry and journalism.

A number of key disciplines ranked in the top 3. 16 Nobel Prize winner, nearly 200 academicians of Chinese Academy of Sciences and Chinese Academy of Engineering.

Scholars, together with many Berkeley people who became billionaires in the Silicon Valley business war, raised the banner of gathering talents from all over the world.

Andrew groff, president of Intel, graduated from the University of California. Berkeley.

The BSD version of UNIX influenced the whole CS world, and Berkeley's RISC technology later became the core technology of Sun's microprocessor. David Patterson accepted a $600 million project to research and develop new computer architecture, especially IRAM.

UC。 Berkeley has more than 30,000 students and more than 8,500 graduate students. The application fee is the same as other campuses of the University of California, 40 dollars. According to a recent survey, Berkeley has become the most desirable graduate school for American college students, ranking first, and its application difficulty can be imagined.

UC。 CS in Berkeley is a big department, including Turing Prize winners and giants like Patterson. In computer science research, University of California. Berkeley is also very strong in all aspects.

San Francisco has blue undulating bays, lush mountains, comfortable and pleasant climate, and close to Silicon Valley.

……

Didn't all this make UC? Berkeley is a paradise for CS students?

4. Carnegie Mellon University

CMU is a small school in Pittsburgh with more than 7,000 students. The campus seems very small. But this school is working.

Cheng and other fields are top schools. The computer department of CMU is not a department, but a large-scale college.

Maybe only Stanford, UIUC can compare with it. Mach operating system, PVM, C.mmp, etc. Have great contributions from CMU.

It is very difficult to apply for CMU, because although CMU has many CSFacilities, it only recruits less than 30 graduate students every year.

Research team.

5. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign

The engineering school of UIUC is the highest in the United States, and its CS, ECE and EE have made many achievements in history. In CS.

From the early supercomputers ILLIAC I, II, III and IV to the later CEDAR, they are all important events in the history of CS development, especially in the history of parallel computers, which have long influenced and guided the development of CS. David cook used to be

The pioneer of parallel computer processing.

Supercomputer Research and Development Center (CSRD), National Supercomputing and Application Center (NCSA), etc.

This organization makes UIUC CS often become the leading goose in the field of research and development.

You may remember that one of the original developers of Netscape Navigator was mark anderson. This young man from Wisconsin studied undergraduate in UIUC and participated in the compilation of MOSAIC. He was in NCSA in his senior year. Later, he went to Silicon Valley, where he met jim clark, the former founder of SGI mentioned earlier. They hit it off and jointly founded the famous Netscape, which once dominated the Wulin browser market.

There are also authors of Lotus Notes, remote login program NCSA Telnet and e-mail program Eudora, all of whom are graduates of UIUC. Tom Siebel, founder of commercial software giant Siebel Systems, also graduated from UIUC.

UIUC is a large university with over 35,000 students and nearly10,000 graduate schools.

UIUC has a large CS, and more than 40 facilities provide comprehensive CS education and research programs. More than 30 doctors every year.

It seems that only Stanford University has a comparable number of graduates.

UIUC's Polaris parallel compiler is a fist product that can directly compete with Stanford's SUIF in this field. Tsinghua chose this system when developing a parallel programming environment.

UIUC is quite powerful in computer hardware, software, AI, DB and other fields. Especially the hardware, as mentioned earlier.

Iliac, Cedar, etc.

In fact, UIUC is by no means inferior to MIT and Stanford in the research and development of supercomputer systems, or even worse. The fact that NCSA is based in the Union of Islamic Courts is evidence in itself. Many students of UIUC CS went to academia after graduation. Stanford University, University of California. Dr. UIUC leads the way in CS universities such as Berkeley. However, more UIUC CS scholars have entered the industry and become the backbone of the industry.

6. Cornell University

As a member of the Ivy League and a private school, Cornell has its unique advantages. In America, private schools

Schools are generally more difficult to enter than public schools, and their students are admitted after strict selection. CS students from Cornell University enter the school.

Most of them can enjoy fellowship treatment, and their personal economic conditions are not as good as those of public schools, plus the recommendation of aristocratic alumni.

The way out for private schools is very attractive. Cornell has always been a top player in theoretical computers, but in other fields.

CS domain is not always in front of 10.

Cornell University has18,000 students and more than 5,000 graduate students. CS enrolls about 25 doctoral students every year.

7. University of Washington

Seattle's Washington, D.C. is blessed-Microsoft, the giant of computer science, is in Seattle, and more importantly, Bill Gates is from there. The Harvard dropout gave Harvard a lot of money, but compared with the money given to the United States of Washington, it was only a drop in the ocean.

The unit of WASHINGTON in Washington is located on the beautiful lake Washington, where the seasons are like spring. Among the more than 33,000 students, there are about 8,000 graduate students. Perhaps the most disgusting thing about Seattle is that there are 160 days of precipitation a year.

The CS in Washington is very large, with more than 30 faculty members, nearly 20 high-quality doctoral graduates and a large number of master's degrees every year. It is estimated that the annual enrollment should not be low. The CS of U. of Washington is balanced in all aspects, with the strongest software ranking fifth, while other fields generally rank in the top 10, as if there is no obvious weakness.

Dick Karp, a Turing Prize winner, was re-employed by CS of the University of Washington after he retired from the University of California. Berkeley. The CS requirements of U. of Washington are very high, with the average GPA of doctoral students as high as 3.86 and GRE2 160 or above. Coupled with the earlier deadline, it is quite difficult to apply for the University of Washington.

8. Princeton University

Princeton is a fascinating place, once the science center of the world.

CS in Princeton is not large, with 18 faculty and a small number of students. Except for the fifth theory in scientific research, I don't seem to notice other bright spots. But Princeton has undoubtedly trained a large number of outstanding people in the computer field. Geoffrey D. ullman, john mccarthy and other giants are all from the famous Princeton University. exist

Princeton education is the best education.

Princeton is a small school with more than 6,000 students and only 1700 graduate students.

9. University of Wisconsin-Madison

There is a large CS in Wisconsin-Madison, with 35 faculty members and more than 200 graduate students, and 60-70 freshmen are enrolled every year. At present, almost 1/4 facilities come from the University of California, Berkeley. After graduation, doctoral students went to Stanford, University of California, Berkeley and other cattle schools to take the lead, but similar to UIUC, it seems that they are more involved in the industry. However, it is not easy to get a doctorate here. More than 70% people will find an ideal job halfway and run with a master's degree to avoid being miserable by those endless scientific research projects.

The Wisconsin-Madison database has always been in the top three, and it is often the location of 1. Because of its traditional advantages in designing and implementing DBMS system, the database here enjoys a high reputation in the industry. It is said that Microsoft has a group of Wisconsin alumni, and Oracle Bone Inscriptions especially favors students from Wisconsin-Madison.

Wisconsin is a giant in hardware and computer architecture, ranking sixth in 1999, and it is quite influential in the industry.

The superscalar technology in microprocessor originated from this; Bus snooping of multiprocessor cache coherence

Snooping protocol, IEEE SCI protocol, etc. , all originated here. It is said that the MultiScalar technology and DataScalar technology being developed can increase the number of instructions issued by the microprocessor to more than 10 per clock cycle, which greatly improves the computing power of the microprocessor. Software 99 in Wisconsin ranks seventh. It mainly focuses on the design and implementation of OS in system software, caching strategy on the WEB, supporting two parallel programming modes of * * * shared main memory and message passing, and their mixed parallel programming languages and compilers, as well as the research on parallel and distributed computing, OODB, scientific database and new query languages supporting image query and image processing initiated by MIDSHIP project. Because there are a large number of satellite images in the United States that need to be processed in time, there is an urgent need for GIS research and development, which makes Wisconsin-Madison in the United States earn a lot of money.

The CS theory of Wisconsin and UIUC is in the first place 10. Carl de Boer of Wisconsin is a big bull of approximation theory.

Unit University of Wisconsin-Madison is a large comprehensive school with more than 65,438+00,000 graduate students, including 5,000 doctoral students, 3,500 master students and 2,000 vocational school students from law schools, medical schools, nursing schools and veterinary schools. There are many Nobel Prize winners and 52 academicians in more than 2,200 facilities, of which 18 are academicians of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.

It should be noted that CS in Wisconsin is a little different from many other schools, and it belongs to the Conservatory of Music.

Tells & Science is not under the Institute of Technology. So many hardware-oriented projects, such as embedded system, network hardware, routing, multimedia, communication, automatic control and digital signal processing, are not in CS D ept. , but in the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering; Computer engineering, that is, ECE department.

That department is also quite big, much bigger than CS. 1998 ranked ninth in computer engineering.

10. University of Texas at Austin

Austin, Texas, has a bigger CS, and there seems to be a Turing Prize winner in the faculty. The development of departments is relatively balanced, with the best AI ranking fifth, and several other majors can squeeze into the top ten.

Austin, Texas, is a huge school with 50,000 students, and the graduate school may have 1.3 million. However, the main campus of the school seems to be insufficient, only 140 hectares, which is not enough according to the standards of American universities.

1 1. California Institute of Technology

CIT's CS is very small, with only about 5 professors and few students each year. Although applying for CIT is free, it is built.

Don't try easily. Because the system is too small, CIT seems to be only strong in the visualization and scientific calculation of computer hardware.

. The department has been sitting on 1 1 and 12 for many years, and has hardly moved; Similarly, Stanford and MIT are stable.

1 and 2, Cornell ranked fifth, University of Wisconsin-Madison ranked ninth and 10. CIT CS is closely related to other departments, such as mathematics, physics and biology, which need a lot of scientific calculation. CIT school is also very small, with 1 100 graduate students among 2000 students. The number of teaching staff is small, but almost all of them are giant cows. Generally speaking, CIT is probably the best school in the world.

12. University of Maryland at Park.

Unit Maryland at CP is a very powerful CS, the 8th in software, the 4th in database, the 9th in AI, and the three majors are all squeezed into the top 10, and the tiny system is also quite famous.

13. UCLA.

In history, the CS of UCLA was once brilliant, reaching No.6 (NRC \' 82), but in recent years it has been hovering at 13- 15. Moreover, almost none of the professional details of CS can enter the previous 10. Nevertheless, UCLA's CS is still very powerful.

The glorious history of UCLA may lie in its great contribution to the development of the Internet. America in the sixties

ARPA is conducting pioneering research on network interconnection. The four nodes of ARPA network are UCLA, Stanford Research Institute of Stanford University, UCSB University and the University of Utah. At this time, Vinton Cerf, a young man from New England, came to California not far from Wan Li, instead of going to Yale University, which is close to home. He first received a bachelor's degree in mathematics from Stanford, and then a master's degree and a doctor's degree in cs from UCLA.

Cerf has been engaged in the research of ARPA network in SRI since graduation, especially how to make it not work normally. for several years

Later, Cerf cooperated with Kyhn, a professor of mathematics at MIT, to develop a software system for the network.

Interconnection (1973). This is the birth of TCP/IP protocol.

As a pioneer of Internet, UCLA is located in sunny Southern California, which should be a paradise for CS students.

UCLA has 33,000 students, 9,900 of whom are from graduate schools. There are almost countless places around UCLA, such as Disney and Hollywood. Because it is located in a big city, the campus is not very big, but the scenery is extremely beautiful.

The CS of UCLA is relatively large, and its scale should be similar to that of the University of Washington and the University of Wisconsin-Madison.

14. University of Michigan at Ann Arbor

Unit The University of Michigan is a great school. In Da Shili, on the whole, it can be counted

It is a leader, and of course UIUC, u of Wisconsin-Madison is also close behind. CS here is more difficult, ranking 9th in hardware, 7th in computer engineering and 5th in EE, all of which are giants in 10. CS and EE in Michigan are collectively referred to as the EECS Department, which is quite large in scale and should have several students enrolled each year.

The CS estimation of Mi Chigan is also considerable in history. Two Michigan professors at the University of Wisconsin-Madison are academicians. There are also many awesome people in other CS departments, such as UIUC and Michigan. As mentioned above, the CS of UIUC is extremely powerful in hardware, and many UIUC buddies in CS of Michigan are teachers there.

15. Georgia Institute of Technology

GIT is a big school with a strong engineering school, and its R&D expenditure is second only to MIT, UIUC and Michi.

Gump is almost the same. The database of CS department is No.7, and the GUI is No.4. ..

16. Brown University

Brown is small in scale. This Ivy League private school may have some advantages similar to Cornell. The GUI of CS can rank sixth. It seems that there are many R&D artificial intelligence projects, such as speech recognition.

17. Harvard University

In the early history of CS, Harvard was once a leader. After all, CS has too much to do with mathematical physics.

It is too deep. It seems that Wang An came from here, and so did Bill Gates. After all, Harvard is Harvard, and there are always celebrities, because Harvard always recruits the best people. But don't think Harvard is awesome. Harvard doesn't like things with engineering colors, and CS is hung on Arts &; It seems that the engineering and applied science division under the Faculty of Science is not even an independent department. I'm afraid there are not many other projects except that it can be ranked in the top 10 in theory.

Harvard University students 18000, including graduate students 1 1000. Harvard University has the largest number of Nobel Prize winners in the world, with more than 150 academicians of the National Academy of Sciences. It is estimated that CS of Harvard will not be a big shot, and there may not be many students recruited, so it should be difficult to apply.

18. Yale University

Yale used to be in the top 10 (NRC\' 82), and Yale and UCLA were in the top 10, not Princeton and the University of Texas at Austin. Yale's CS is small, with a dozen teachers and several students, and only six doctoral students are enrolled each year.

Like Harvard, which attaches great importance to arts and sciences, Yale's CS is relatively strong in theory. But unlike Harvard,

ALE has an independent CS system, which is highly valued. Yale CS is strong in AI and software. The famous LINDA parallel programming mode was put forward and realized here. Yale graduates seem to prefer academia to industry, and so does Harvard.

19. Purdue University

Perhaps many people still don't know that the computer department of Purdue is the earliest computer department established in the United States. The first day of the department

Straight top 10. In the 1970s, it declined for reasons I don't know. Purdue's ranking is also unstable.

13 to 30 seems to have been seen. Purdue is a big school with 35,000 students. Its engineering school is very famous. 20. Rice University

Rice is a primary school in Houston, with 4,000 students and about 1600 graduate students. CS is not big, excellent.

The potential lies in software, ranking ninth. Kennedy in this department is a giant and a key figure in the HPCC Standing Committee of the United States.

One of them seems to be the president's special adviser on information science. Kennedy is a big cow in parallel computing. Qian Ji

In 2000, he undertook the compiler development of high-performance FORTRAN language (HPF) without hesitation, with a large project and a large investment.

Huge manpower and his authoritative position are widely expected. Unfortunately, the project failed later. Merge from now on.

The computing world has fallen into a trough. In recent years, Kennedy seems to have turned to back-end optimization technology for specific processors.

Yes The future of CS students is quite good.
