2 PhD studentships are available to study Machine Learning based Parallelisation for Heterogeneous multi-cores. The studentship will be held under the supervision of Prof. Michael O'Boyle, within the Institute for Computing Systems Architecture, at the School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh, to begin in 2010, start date flexible.

Project

The efficient mapping of program parallelism to multi-core, heterogeneous processors is extremely challenging and highly dependent on the underlying architecture.

Applications are invited from students with backgrounds in computer science or electronic engineering for a PhD studentship at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge. The successful candidate will join an EPSRC funded project which is investigating a novel massively-parallel single-chip processor architecture targeting high-performance embedded applications. Research is currently being pursued at the language, compiler and architecture levels.

One/two year positions starting summer 2010 based in Bristol, UK

HP Labs Bristol (UK) is expanding its team researching aspects of cloud infrastructure-as-a-service and is seeking doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to work on major new European collaborative projects starting summer 2010. These positions, on one year contracts, with the possibility to extend to two years, will be in HP Labs’ Automated Infrastructure Lab which is responsible for research and advanced development of cloud infrastructure technologies.

Title: High-Level Synthesis for designing fault tolerant architectures on FPGA

Abstract
The candidate will have to propose radiation fault models from case studies and measurements on FPGA in a strongly disturbed environment.

From these models, mechanisms of tolerance to the faults, at the logical, algorithmic and system levels will be developed. These mechanisms will be integrated in a design approach of faults tolerant architectures based on the synthesis high-level.
