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. APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS NEC Laboratories America Inc. is a US-based facility that is part of NEC Corporation's global network of research laboratories.

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.
