Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Barcelona, Spain
Description
One key activity within the Montblanc project is the development of performance and energy models to guide the design of the final HPC architecture. At BSC we have implemented a micro-benchmark infrastructure named BeGet/POTRA, to design and implement micro-benchmarks that help researchers to understand and improve the performance and energy consumption levels. Micro-benchmarks are used to stress particular components of the architecture, and then build models that can be used as predictors of the performance and energy consumption levels. We are opening a research position to continue this development, extend the current knowledge on micro-benchmark generation and the performance and energy modelling techniques. The position offers the possibility to enter in contact with cutting edge technology and HPC technology providers such as ARM or Bull. Candidates must be interested in starting a research career and pursuing a PhD degree in the scope of an international team. Main Responsibilities:
- Support to the development of the BeGet/POTRA infrastructure
- Evaluate and implement new micro-benchmark policies in order to capture the behaviour of the different architectural components.
- Evaluate and implement performance and energy models for the Montblanc architecture
- Dissemination of the project results, writing technical papers and project deliverables
Requirements
- M.Sc/B.Sc Degree in Computer Sciences, Telecommunications or related discipline
- Excellent computing skills in programming languages (Python, C/C++) and experience with UNIX/LINUX environments.
- Knowledge of low level programming with assembly code.
- Knowledge of parallel programming models and languages such as OpenMP, CUDA and OpenCL
- Fluency in English essential
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills
- Ability to take initiative, prioritize and work under set deadlines and pressure
- Ability to work independently and in a team
- Capacity to interact and build strong relations with a diverse members/stakeholder/staff base.
- Willing to travel (mandatory)
