Funded research positions for PhD students in Parallel Computing

at the Research Group of Scientific Computing
Faculty of Computer Science
University of Vienna, Austria
<www.par.univie.ac.at>

Founded in 1365, the University of Vienna is among the oldest
universities in Europe and is the largest teaching and research
institution in Austria. In the past, the Nobel Prize has been awarded to
nine scientists that are linked to the University of Vienna through
either teaching or research.

The Research Group Scientific Computing focuses on research in
programming paradigms, languages, compilers and software infrastructures
for scientific computing to support users in the process of solving
increasingly complex compute- and data-intensive problems in science and
engineering on high-end parallel and distributed computing platforms.
The group is involved in several national and international research
projects in this area. The working language of the research group and
the PhD program is English.

Applicants, preferably with background in parallel computing, are
expected to have research interest in one or more of the following topics:
- Programming models and languages for parallel architectures
- Compilers and runtime systems
- APIs and development tools for GPU-based architectures
- Performance modeling, optimization, and auto-tuning

Applicants must hold a master's degree (or equivalent) in computer
science or other related areas. Programming skills in C/C++ and/or Java
are required. Fluency in English (written and spoken) and interest in
writing up and presenting research results completes the applicant’s
profile.

Applications should be submitted electronically and should include a
short statement of research interests, CV, copy of diploma thesis, and
the name of at least one reference that may be contacted for additional
information.

Please submit your application to Prof. Dr. Siegfried Benkner
(siegfrie...@univie.ac.at).

Application review will begin immediately and the available positions
will remain open until filled.

CentOS and Scientific Linux Cern installations with FAI
Datum: 15.09.2011 14:19
Von: Thomas Lange <la...@informatik.uni-koeln.de>

I'm very happy to announce, that FAI now can install and configure CentOS
and Scientific Linux Cern (SLC). You can use a Debian FAI server for
installing CentOS version 5 and 6 or SLC 5 and 6.

As an example I've also built a FAI multi-distribution CD which
installs those three different Linux distributions with different
configurations. Get this ISO image from

http://fai-project.org/fai-cd/


This installation is very quick. I've done a CentOS 6.0 installation
(with graphical desktop) in 199 seconds (in a kvm instance on a
quad-core 3.2GHz, hard disk in RAM) and it only needs 490 seconds on
the real hardware when installing from CD.

Below is a short description how to install CentOS or SLC via network
from your FAI server.

Feedback is always welcome. Please send your feedback to the linux-fai
mailing list
https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/linux-fai/

Best regards,
Thomas, in behalf of the FAI team
