Professor Farrens is interested in all aspects of computer architecture, but primarily in the architecture and design of high-performance single-chip processors. The focus of his research is in how to best use a limited number of resources to provide the highest performance. Professor Farrens is also interested in high-speed scientific processing, in particular in exploring issues related to the memory system, in Instruction Level Parallelism, and in exploiting the unique abilities of VLSI.
