Shape the future of high-performance computing. The European DARE project is pioneering next-generation processing technologies, leveraging RISC-V and Vector architectures, and we're looking for a driven individual to make fundamental research contributions. This is your chance to develop your HPC research skills and cutting-edge engineering, while contributing to a project that will redefine the landscape of computing. Join our team of researchers and engineers in the beautiful and vibrant city of Gothenburg, on the Swedish west coast.
Information about the project
Your work will consist in the high performance code generation, mainly targeting the upcoming RISC-V-based multiprocessor systems developed in the European DARE project. The focus of DARE are long vector/matrix multicore architectures. The goal of our team is to develop effective runtime and compiler support to program these architectures using the SYCL, OpenMP and OneDNN programming models.
The core team currently consists of eight researchers, six male and two female, and two research assistants. We are part of the computing systems unit, which includes four professors. The team participates in many Swedish and European projects, and also collaborates with external institutes such as Riken R-CCS and ANL. We meet twice a week to discuss updates and research topics. In addition the team leader holds an individual supervision meetings with PhD students.
Our research infrastructure is provided mainly by NAISS (National Academic Infrastructure for Supercomputing in Sweden) and C3SE (Chalmers Centre for Computational Science and Engineering). Our partners and funding projects provide access to hardware testbeds, such as RISC-V vector processors, ARM processors, FPGAs, etc.
Main responsibilities
- Develop new approaches to generate high performance parallel and matrix/vector RISC-V code from the SYCL programming model
- Develop new approaches for genreating high performance ML kernels from the oneDNN framework targeting long vector/matrix architectures
Qualifications
You have a masters degree in a field related to High Performance Computing, Computer Engineering or Computer Architecture. You are highly motivated, self-propelled, energetic, independent and with a well-developed analytical problem-solving ability. As a person, you are empathetic, loyal and have high ethical standards. Your communication skills in English (literal as well as oral) are of a high quality.
Contract terms
Temporary employment. The position is limited to a maximum of 360 days.
