计算领域的重要人物蒂姆·金（Dr. Tim King）博士于7月下旬去世。作为剑桥大学的博士毕业生，他最广为人知的贡献是对AmigaDOS奠基性的工作。在学生时代，他开发了Tripos，这是一个用BCPL编写的抢占式多任务操作系统。1984年，他加入MetaComCo公司，并将Tripos改造为Amiga操作系统的核心，深刻影响了该平台的历史地位。除了对Amiga的贡献外，金博士的职业生涯中还充满了其他创新。1986年，他创立了Perihelion公司，专注于超算处理器（transputer）技术和并行处理。后来，他进军新兴的数字领域，创办了互联网服务提供商UK Online。金博士的技术专长在操作系统设计和早期个人计算历史上留下了深远的印记。

Dr. Tim King passed away at the end of July, his family confirmed upon request. King played a key role in the development of AmigaDOS and thus in an important chapter of the Amiga's software history.

King studied computer science at the University of Cambridge and earned his Ph.D. there in 1979. While still a student at the university, he developed the Tripos operating system, a preemptive multitasking system written in BCPL. In 1984, King joined MetaComCo and brought Tripos with him to the company. There, the system was further developed for the Amiga and integrated into the new computer’s operating system as AmigaDOS.

After his time at MetaComCo, King founded Perihelion in 1986, a company that focused on operating systems, parallel processing, and transputer technology, among other things. He later founded the Internet service provider UK Online.

King has made a significant contribution to the history of the Amiga. (nba)
