Timothy Jones

Timothy Jones is a Professor of Computer Architecture and Compilation at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory, with a research focus on extracting parallelism (thread-level, data-level, memory-level) through compilers, binary translators, and microarchitectures to enhance performance, energy efficiency, and reliability. He is also a Fellow and 1956 College Lecturer at Gonville and Caius College, serving as joint Director of Studies for Computer Science.

• Teaching: Advanced Topics in Computer Architecture (MPhil ACS, Part III), Introduction to Computer Architecture (Part IB), Optimising Compilers (Part II)
• Research Themes: Computer Architecture, Security, Programming Languages, Parallel Computing
• Contact: Room SC03, Department of Computer Science and Technology, William Gates Building, Cambridge CB3 0FD

His recent publications emphasize heterogeneous parallelism, fault tolerance, speculative execution, and security implications in compiler and microarchitecture design. Notable trends include integrating fine-grained security analysis into superscalar cores and optimizing GPU architectures for scalarization and memory bypassing.
