<html><body style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; ">The PARIS research group at Ghent University has received a 4-year grant from the Fund for Scientific Research - Flanders (Belgium) to do joint research with IMEC into the use of compiler technology to work around memory defects caused by process variability. The ultimate goal of this research is to improve the processor fabrication yield by including compiler capabilities in the validation and testing process. A more detailed description of the project can be found in <a href="http://www.elis.ugent.be/~brdsutte/PhDVAPOR_eng.pdf">http://www.elis.ugent.be/~brdsutte/PhDVAPOR_eng.pdf</a>.<br><br>For this project we now invite PhD (or postdoc) applications. We offer a 4-year position (possibly extensible), starting 1 Jan 2009 in the PARIS (Parallel Information Systems) research group at the Engineering Faculty of Ghent University. This group, from which Prof. De Bosschere coordinates the HIPEAC2 European Network of Excellence, performs research into hardware/software codedesign, and into the software/hardware interface (compilers and computer architecture). As such this position offers the ability to participate in the HIPEAC2 network. For more information on how to apply and on this position, contact prof. Bjorn De Sutter at <a href="mailto:bjorn.desutter@elis.ugent.be">bjorn.desutter@elis.ugent.be</a>.<div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div><br></div><div><div> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>Bjorn De Sutter</div><div>Electronics & Information Systems Department</div><div>Ghent University</div><div><br class="webkit-block-placeholder"></div></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"></div></span><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"> </div><br></div></body></html>
