1 Postdoctoral Researcher in Exascale Computing at HPCViz in Sweden | KTH - Royal Institute Of Technology

The position is placed at the department for High Performance Computing and Visualization (HPCViz).

The Department of High Performance Computing and Visualization focuses on developing new concepts for improved usage of high performance computer systems, including algorithms, programming environments, tools, and the analysis and synthesis of visual data. The department also has strong links with the PDC – Center for High Performance Computing that operates national supercomputing resources, including the currently largest supercomputer in the Nordics, Beskow, a 2 PFLOPS Cray XC-40 system with over 53,000 cores. The department takes part in high profile EC projects in the field of High Performance Computing, is coordinating the “EPiGRAM” project, and has a focus on programming models, runtime systems, and performance tools for exascale computing.

Job description

In the recent FET-HPC call under Horizon 2020 a number of exascale computing projects were funded and the successful candidate is expected to join a team of researchers working on practical aspects of programming models for exascale, particularly programming model interoperability and application of programming models to scientific applications.

Qualifications:

Candidates need to have a PhD in computer science, computational science, or related fields and proven experiences in working with parallel programming environments (MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, OpenACC, etc.), both from a design/implementation as well as usage in scientific applications point of view.
