The European DARE project is pioneering next-generation processing technologies, leveraging RISC-V and Vector architectures, and we're looking for two driven individuals to make fundamental research contributions. This is your chance to develop your HPC research skills, including teaching, and cutting-edge engineering, while contributing to a project that will redefine the landscape of computing. Join our fantastic team of researchers and engineers in the beautiful and vibrant city of Gothenburg, on the Swedish west coast.
Information about the project
Your research work will consist in the generation of high performance code for the upcoming RISC-V-based multiprocessor systems developed in the European DARE project. The focus of DARE are long vector multicore architectures. The goal of our team is to develop effective runtime support to program these architectures using the SYCL, OpenMP and OneDNN programming models.
The core team currently consists of nine researchers, four male and five female. 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 Riken R-CCS. We meet once 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, Fujitsu A64FX, Graviton3, FPGAs, etc.
As PhD student, 80% of your time be devoted to research and skills development. The remaining 20% will be dedicated to department duties, mainly participating in teaching activities.
Main responsibilities
• Research novel approaches to develop high performance parallel and vector RISC-V code from the SYCL programming model
• Research novel approaches to develop high performance ML kernels from the oneDNN framework targeting long vector architectures
• Participate in departmental duties, mainly teaching
