Research Interests: Computer Architecture, Processor Microarchitecture, Code Generation and Optimization Techniques.

Biography: Antonio Gonzalez received his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from the Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (UPC), in Barcelona, Spain. He is the founding director of the Intel Barcelona Research Center, whose research focuses on new microarchitecture paradigms and code generation techniques for future microprocessors. He joined the faculty of the Computer Architecture Department of UPC in 1986 and became a Full Professor in 2002. He currently leads the ARCO research group and holds a part-time Professor position at this department.

His research has focused on computer architecture, compilers and parallel processing, with a special emphasis on processor microarchitecture and code generation. He has published over 200 papers, has given over 60 invited talks, has filed 20 patents and advised 13 PhD thesis in the areas of Resilient Processors, Multicore Architectures, Power-Aware Microarchitectures, Clustered Microarchitectures, Speculative Multithreaded Processors, Data Value and Data Dependence Speculation and Reuse, Cache Architectures, Register File Architecture, Modulo Scheduling, Code Analysis and Optimization, Parallel Algorithms, Prolog-Oriented Architectures, Instruction Fetching Mechanisms, and Digital Image Processing.

Dr. Gonzalez is an Associate Editor of the IEEE Transactions on Computers, IEEE Transactions on Parallel and Distributed Systems, ACM Transactions on Architecture and Code Optimization, and Journal of Embedded Computing. He has served on over 90 program committees for international symposia in the field of computer architecture, including ISCA, MICRO, HPCA, PACT, ICS, ICCD, ISPASS, CASES and IPDPS. He has been program (co-) chair for ICS 2003, ISPASS 2003 and MICRO 2004, among other symposia.
