Exciting PhD opportunities at Imperial College London
in Alastair Donaldson's group! They are doing great stuff
and even contribute to Collective Knowledge ;) !!!
Cheers,
Grigori
I'm looking to recruit up to two PhD students, to start in October 2017, to work on topics related to programmability of heterogeneous many-core systems. These are systems on top of which software is accelerated across multiple cores, via accelerators such as GPUs and FPGAs, and where new technologies such as cloud-assistance are employed to improve performance and reliability. Heterogeneous many-core systems have immense promise, but are very hard to program correctly and efficiently, and pose challenges for programmers, language designers and tool builders.
There's a great deal of scope for research in this area, and relevant topic for PhDs in my group include, but are not limited to:
- New programming models for heterogeneous many-core systems, including high level programming models from which to compile to lower-level representations, as well as advances in the semantics and capabilities of lower-level languages such as OpenCL, CUDA and HSA.
- Verification and testing techniques for many-core software, coping with the challenges posed by concurrency, weak memory and non-uniform semantics across diverse devices.
- Testing and certification of compilation for many-core platforms, including translation validation from high level languages to lower level representations, and fuzz testing of low-level compilers.
- Security threats posed by many-core unreliability, including exploits induced by software, compiler and driver defects, and security challenges associated with virtualisation of GPU devices in the cloud.
There is a rolling deadline for applications, but sooner is better in terms of funding opportunities.
Please see my group's web page - http://multicore.doc.ic.ac.uk/ - for the kind of things we do, and please contact me - alastair....@imperial.ac.uk - if you'd like to discuss these opportunities!
Best wishes
