Lanfranco Lopnore is a researcher at the Istituto di Elaborazione della Informazione of the Consiglio Nazionale delle
Ricerche, Pisa, Italy. He has researched memory structures in
capability environments, capability-based tagged architectures, and cache memories. He is currently working on hardware tools for program debugging and program performance
evaluation.
Lopriore received the Dott. Ing. degree in electronic engineering in 1978 and an advanced degree in computer science
in 1980, both cum laude, from the University of Pisa.
