Study Subject(s):Semantics and Verification of Accelerator Programming
Course Level:PhD
Scholarship Provider: University of Twente, Netherlands
Scholarship can be taken at: Netherlands
Eligibility:
An enthusiastic PhD student with an MSc degree in Computer Science (or an equivalent qualification). The candidate should have a thorough theoretical background, a demonstrable interest in program semantics and verification, and some knowledge about multithreaded programming (in Java/C/C++). We are looking for a researcher with an independent mind who is willing to cooperate in our team. It is understood that he or she works on the topics listed above, and contributes to the expected deliverables for the project. Further we ask for good communicative and good collaboration skills. Candidates should be prepared to prove their English language skills.
Scholarship Open for International Students: No
Scholarship Description: The challenge is to work on the EU Strep project CARP (Correct and Efficient Accelerator Programming), funded by the European Union. Our research: In recent years, massively parallel accelerator processors, primarily GPUs, have become widely available to end-users. Accelerators offer tremendous compute power at a low cost, and tasks such as media processing, simulation, medical imaging and eye-tracking can be accelerated to beat CPU performance by orders of magnitude. Performance is gained in energy efficiency and execution speed, allowing intensive media processing software to run in low-power consumer devices. Accelerators present a serious challenge for software developers. A system may contain one or more of the plethora of accelerators on the market, with many more products anticipated in the immediate future. Applications must exhibit portable correctness, operating correctly on any configuration of accelerators, and portable performance, exploiting processing power and energy efficiency offered by a wide range of devices.
