Dear all,

I have a PhD position open here at DTU. If you know a good student who finished his master or will finish in the fall semester, it would be nice if you could forward this offer to him.

Thanks,
Martin

PhD project: Open source Fog Node: hardware support for virtualization

Apply no later than 1 October 2017

Apply online at: http://www.dtu.dk/english/career/job?id=004f9d3f-ec93-4f1f-926e-01c96d923602

Host: Technical University of Denmark (DTU), Embedded Systems Engineering (ESE) section.

    Main supervisor: Prof. Martin Schoeberl, ma...@dtu.dk (contact person)
    Co-supervisor: Prof. Jens Sparsø, js...@dtu.dk

Requirements:

    Master’s in Computer Science or equivalent

Objectives:

    Develop and evaluate time-predictable hardware mechanisms to support virtualization, such as time-predictable virtual memory and time-predictable virtualization of I/O
    Develop an open source implementation of a Fog Node hardware, with these virtualization mechanisms

Expected Results:

    Open-source prototype implementation of a Fog Node (FN) hardware, extending the T-CREST platform based on PATMOS processors
    Time-predictable virtualization of I/O devices and services
    Physical virtualization through manycore processors power down and up
    Segment based memory protection with time-predictable address translation
    Cache partitioning to remove cache related preemption delays
    Integration and evaluation of these hardware support mechanisms into PikeOS.

Planned visits and collaboration:

    SYSGO (Dr. Henrik Theiling): Explore hardware needs for virtualization; Port PikeOS to developed FN.

Description:

Current multicore processors support virtualization that is optimized for
average case performance. Techniques such as paging and address translation
caching with a TLB are hardly time-predictable. Within this PhD project
time-predictable hardware mechanism will be developed to support
virtualization. The project will extend the T-CREST platform.
