A guided-missile destroyer, USS Hopper, was named for her, as was the Cray XE6 "Hopper" supercomputer at NERSC, as was the Nvidia Superchip "Grace Hopper". During her lifetime, Hopper was awarded 40 honorary degrees from universities across the world. A college at Yale University was renamed in her honor.
