Optimisation Techniques for High Performance Computing

Applications are invited for a research position, at the level of either Postdoctoral Research Associateship or Postgraduate Research Studentship, to work on the EC funded Long Term Research project "MHAOTEU". The goal of this research project is to develop methods and tools for interactive optimisation of memory hierarchy behaviour in computationally-intensive applications. This 3-year project is a collaboration between academic institutions and industrial partners from the UK, France and Spain. We are looking for an enthusiastic, self-motivated candidate, with a good first degree in Computer Science, and a strong interest in one or more of the following topics:
  • program analysis and optimisation
  • program transformations
  • dynamic program behaviour
  • caches and memory hierarchies
  • auto-parallelisation
  • interactive software engineering tools
  • Applicants for the Postdoctoral Research Associateship will also hold, or be nearing completion of, a PhD in an area closely related to one of the above topics. This dynamic project involves close interaction with our European partners at Universitat Politecnica de Catalunya (Barcelona), INRIA and University of Versailles (Paris), EPC Ltd (Edinburgh), and ONERA (Paris). Please refer to the further particulars for more detail about the project and salary scales.
