In addition to his proof—available for free (PDF)—he developed a "compiler" that would generate 2,3 Turing machine code that is capable of solving any computational problem.

The “Turing” machine was described by Alan Turing in 1936, who called it an “a (utomatic)-machine”. The Turing machine is not intended as a practical computing technology, but rather as a hypothetical ...

There had been previous attempts to bring parallel computing a Turing machine, though the researchers said that in general, there has been relatively little interest in developing a strong parallel ...

Two researchers in the Netherlands helmed the construction of a LEGO Turing machine, a quirky manifestation of the classic computer science concept first devised by Alan Turing in 1936.

The "Turing Machine" was the first modern computer to logically process information, running on interchangeable software and essentially laying the groundwork for every computing device we have ...
