Post-doc position(s) in high performance computing
The Parallel Programming Lab, a leading computer science group in parallel computing at the University of Illinois, seeks bright and capable postdoctoral associates in high performance computing. The ideal candidates must be interested in making an impact on this field, which is poised to become a critical research area in the next few years, due to the emergence of petascale computers and multicore desktops.
Our team comprises of a group of highly energetic and motivated students, post-docs and staff members engaged in (1) developing techniques for enhancing performance and productivity in parallel programming, (2) embodying them in parallel programming infrastructures called Charm++ and Adaptive MPI, and (3) using them to develop several path-breaking science and engineering applications. We have access to the latest high-performance systems both on campus and at other national centers, and maintain research collaborations with top groups in various areas of computational science and engineering.
Charm++ has excellent potential to explore the new generation of multi-core processors. In particular, this capability is being explored through our work as part of the recently created Universal Parallel Computing Research Center, funded jointly by Intel and Microsoft. In addition, we have been working on a programming methodology for the Cell processor based on Charm++ .
We currently have open positions for post-doc associates, to conduct research and development on parallel algorithms and adaptive runtime systems for large scale computers. They will be involved with the exploration of new techniques for achieving high performance on machines with extremely large numbers of processors (thousands, or hundreds of thousands).
A PhD in Computer Science or in a related area, an excellent academic history, the ability to work in teams on software projects,and a solid publication record are required.
More information on the group and ongoing projects can be found at charm.cs.uiuc.edu.
If you have an interest in the position, please send an e-mail to (kale at uiuc.edu) with the word "postdoc" in the subject of the note, and include a vitae and a description of your research interests.
