Description

The Vector Fabrics tools generate embedded systems that are optimized for specific applications. As you know, data communication has a major impact on power consumption and performance of an embedded system. Embedded systems with multicores and distributed memories provide an opportunity to optimize communication by allocating data closer to the corresponding processor.

Your goal is to enable the Vector Fabrics tools to automatically map data to distributed memories, building upon extensive Vector Fabrics program analysis capabilities. You first study renowned scientific publications to select and possibly augment appropriate algorithms, and then work with the Vector Fabrics team to design and implement your solution.

We are looking for a well-motivated scientist in Computer Science or Electrical Engineering, who is up to this exciting challenge. Affinity with computer architecture is required, as well as good programming skills. Experience with functional programming is preferred.

What do you get from the internship? You:

1. master advanced topics of embedded systems, such as concurrency and memory management;
2. learn Agile software development techniques;
3. collect experimental material for a publication, if the internship is successful;
4. and get mixed up with an international crowd of highly educated intellectuals.

The venue: Eindhoven's downtown, The Netherlands. http://www.vvveindhoven.nl/en/.
