Job description
This is a full-time, paid position, funded by the EU project Apple-CORE and promoted by Prof. Jesshope, head of the CSA group and coordinator of that project. This is one of a number of funded projects in this successful group helping to develop the next generation of computer systems, which will surpass the current trend for multi-core chips and bring about a revolution in many core CPUs. CSA is working on both simulators and soft-core prototypes of its microthreaded processor designs and is also working on compilers and operating systems within the Apple-CORE project. The goal is to build many-core chips with thousands, maybe tens of thousands of microthreaded processors, that can execute existing binary code and which will run legacy operating systems. This is a demanding and exciting challenge.
Tasks:
The successful applicant will work on a parallelising compiler in conjunction with our Greek partner in the Apple-CORE project within a well-motivated team at Amsterdam. He or she will be expected to travel for collaboration and to present results at conferences. It is expected that the appointment will lead to a PhD thesis.
