Reference number 2009/28
Application deadline 2009-04-17
The High-Performance Computer Architecture Group is conducting research on design principles for the next generations of mainstream as well as embedded high-performance computers. To ease the programming task and yet achieve a high computational performance at as high energy efficiency as possible are important objectives in the knowledge generation process that the group contributes to. To this end, the group has a solid track record in contributing to design principles of parallel computers and a current focus is on multi-core computers.
The group participates in the HiPEAC European Network of Excellence as a partner and in two European projects that focus on multi-core architectures. A driving theme regards the definition and implementation of new hardware/software interfaces to ease the task of designing software for exploiting the computational performance of multi-core computers.
Aim of work
The PhD student shall participate in a project that concerns novel execution models for multicore computers. Known execution models lead to significant efforts in rewriting existing software. The project aims at exploring ways to extract parallelism dynamically so that the parallelism offered by multicore computers can be exploited.
Job description
As a Ph.D. student you are employed by Chalmers and will receive a salary according to current salary agreements. A maximum of 20% of your time will be devoted to other duties at the department, mainly teaching. The remaining time will be devoted to your own courses and research within the project and you are expected to obtain a Ph.D. within a maximum of 5 years.
In order to improve gender balance, Chalmers welcomes in particular applications from female candidates.
Qualifications
Applicants shall have a Master’s Degree or corresponding (sw. civilingenjörsexamen) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or Electrical Engineering or in a related discipline. As for all PhD studies, a genuine interest and curiosity in the subject matter and excellent analytical and communication skills, orally as well as literally, are needed. Further, since the research work normally involves developing simulation models of detailed computer architectures, good programming skills are important. A successful candidate must have a profound interest in computer architecture and a foundation in design principles of processors and memory systems.
Application procedure
The application shall be written in English and include the following items:
- An application of a maximum of one A4 page containing your specific qualifications for the position
- Attested copies of education certificates, including grade reports and other documents
- Curriculum Vitae
- Letters of recommendation and name of reference persons (optional)
The application shall be sent electronically as pdf or zipped documents. Please use the button at the foot of the page to reach the application form.
If any material is not available electronically or cannot be transferred to pdf format, the material can be sent as a hard copy to Registrar. The applicants name and the reference number (2009/28) must be written on the first page of the application.
