Anthony Goodacre

Anthony Goodacre is a Professor of Computer Architectures at the School of Computer Science, holding a part-time role while serving as Director of Technology and Systems at ARM Ltd. in Cambridge. He leads research spanning nanotechnology, hardware design, operating systems, and heterogeneous runtimes, with a focus on scalable, power-efficient systems for embedded, enterprise, and HPC applications.

Research interests include:

• Exascale computing through EU-funded projects like EUROSERVER and ExaNoDe
• 3D silicon integration and system virtualization for heterogeneous architectures
• Quantum-classical programming languages (e.g., Quff)
• Power management techniques like cyclic power-gating
• Memory models and runtime systems for ARM-based data centers

His 15 most recent publications highlight trends in FPGA acceleration, radiation-hardened MPSoC systems, and hybrid quantum-classical programming. Contributions to EU FP7/H2020 projects (e.g., EUROSERVER, ExaNEST) emphasize commercialization of ARM technology for exascale computation.

Current collaborations include:

• KALEAO Limited (CSO/CTO since 2015)
• ARM Ltd. (Director since 2002)
• Technology Strategy Board (member since 2015)
• Academic partnerships in EU H2020 projects

He co-supervises two PhD students and contributes to policy discussions, including parliamentary select committee evidence. His work aligns with UN SDGs for energy efficiency and sustainable computing.
