2011 SUMMER INTERNSHIPS (MAY/JUNE THRU AUG/SEPT) - REQ #1037
Organization/Institution: NEC Laboratories America
Department: Computing Systems Architecture Department

The Computing Systems Architecture Department, located in Princeton, NJ,
is seeking highly motivated Ph.D. students for summer internships. The
department conducts research in the domain of parallel architecture and
computing. The current focus is on performance and energy efficiency of
heterogeneous clusters. These clusters have compute nodes consisting of
multi-core CPUs and GPUs, with support for both shared and distributed
memory, heterogeneous interconnects, IO virtualization, and a
heterogeneous storage hierarchy (SSD and disks). Such clusters are
emerging as the common platform of choice for enterprise applications.
The topics for the internships include but are not limited to:

* Programming models, compiler optimizations and runtimes to hide
heterogeneity from programmers * Data and I/O management on
heterogeneous clusters * Modeling, performance and energy analysis of
heterogeneous clusters.
* Virtualization of compute, memory and IO on heterogeneous clusters.
* Architectural exploration of cluster components

Familiarity with parallel architectures, programming languages and
programming models is required.

Familiarity with CUDA, SSE, OpenMP, MPI, Hadoop and virtualization
software will be valued.

2011 FULL TIME RESEARCH STAFF POSITIONS - REQ #1006 & 1012
Organization/Institution: NEC Laboratories America
Department: Computing Systems Architecture Department

NEC Laboratories America, a premier research facility of NEC
Corporation, has multiple openings in the Computing Systems Architecture
Department located in Princeton, NJ.  We invite applications from
exceptional candidates (senior-level or junior-level) for research staff
(RSM) and associate research staff (ARSM) positions. The Computing
Systems Architecture department's mission is to innovate, design,
evaluate and deliver parallel systems for high-performance,
energy-efficient enterprise computing.

Candidates for the RSM position must have a PhD in CS, CE, or EE, strong
research record and excellent credentials in the international research
community.  Applicants must be able to propose and execute innovative
research projects, including prototyping effort that leads to
demonstration in an industry environment.  Applicants must demonstrate
competency in one or more parallel computing research areas like
heterogeneous cluster architectures, parallel programming models and
runtimes, and key technologies to accelerate performance and lower power
consumption of enterprise applications on heterogeneous clusters.
Knowledge of parallel systems, experience in designing parallel software
on shared and distributed memory models, and exposure to enterprise
workloads and cloud computing is desirable. The current focus is on
accelerating enterprise workloads on computing clusters that include
various types of heterogeneity in computing, interconnects, networking
and storage units.

Candidates for the ARSM position must have at least a MS in CS, CE, or
EE, with a strong motivation and skill set to prototype/transfer
innovative research results into industry practice.  Expertise in one or
more of the above parallel computing areas is desirable.  Strong
interest and aptitude for research is necessary.
