Graduate Research Assistant Position in Computer Architecture and/or Parallel Algorithms


Institution: Institute of Computer Science (ICS), Foundation for Research and Technology - Hellas (FORTH)
Start date: Immediately after the signature of the contract
Duration: 1-2.5 years
Location: Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Description:

A Graduate Research Assistant position in the areas of Computer Architecture and/or Parallel Algorithms, to start in 2012-2013, is now available in the CARV Laboratory of the Institute of Computer Science, at FORTH, Heraklion, Crete, Greece. The position is associated with the project “GreenVM”, funded by the NSRF. The position addresses early stage researchers willing to pursue graduate studies at a University (e.g. Univ. of Crete).

The goal of the project is to develop a Java Virtual Machine for manycore non cache coherent architectures. Specifically, research will involve the design and implementation of a library of locality-conscious concurrent data structures built on top of such architectures, and/or power-aware metrics and counters which will be used to evaluate the energy efficiency of the system.

Candidates are expected to have a degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering or equivalent, and a broad range of skills including understanding of theoretical computer science, good programming skills, language implementation skills, and fluency in English.

Applicants must submit the following documents:
