Ricardo Fernández Pascual
I am an Assistant Professor (Profesor Ayudante Doctor) at the
Computer Engineering Department
(DITEC) of the Universidad de
Murcia. Currently, I teach
"Estructura y Tecnología
de Computadores" (introductory computer architecture
course) to first year students and
"Ampliación de Estructura de
Computadores" (more advanced computer architecture course)
to second year students and other couses.

Research
My main research interests include memory hierarchies for chip
multiprocessors, fault tolerance, and general computer
architecture. I am also interested in parallel programming,
compilation, virtual machines and programming language design.
