Mälardalen University (Västerås, Sweden) announces a PhD student position
The KKS-funded synergy-project HERO is announcing a PhD position in
modelling and analysis of software for heterogeneous parallel embedded
platforms.
The need for high-performance computing is increasing at a daunting
pace. Computational heterogeneity is the answer. High-performance
computing platforms are increasingly becoming heterogeneous, meaning
that they contain a combination of different computational units such as
CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and AI accelerators. The overall goal of HERO is to
provide a framework that enables development of optimized parallel
software, automatic mapping of software to heterogeneous hardware
platforms, and provision of automatic hardware acceleration for the
developed software.
This PhD student will focus on modelling and analysis issues for the
development of software for heterogeneous platforms. More specifically,
the research area related to this position will entail: definition of
domain-specific (modelling) languages for describing parallel software,
definition and implementation of algorithms for analyzing software
models and code, definition and implementation of mechanisms for
synthesizing software code from software models. The scope is at the
intersection of model-based software engineering and formal program
analysis. The student will work closely with the project team of about
ten researchers in HERO but is also expected to be able to work
independently.
*Qualifications*
To qualify as a PhD student, you should have a master's level degree in
computer science, computer engineering, or equivalent.
Prior knowledge about software modelling and analysis is required.
The position requires a strong motivation for research, and good verbal
and written communication skills in English. Decisive importance is
attached to personal suitability. We value the qualities that an even
distribution of age and gender, as well as ethnic and cultural
diversity, can contribute to the organization.
*Merit*
Prior knowledge of compilers is considered a distinguished merit.
Additional knowledge in applied mathematics, parallel computing, or
software-hardware co-design is also considered a merit.
*Application*
The application is made online, at
