Publish Date: Feb 16, 2017

Deadline: Feb 28, 2017

Modeling Parallel Computing Systems Behavior

The HPC Group of the Mathematics and Computer Science Department is looking for a PhD student. We offer one such position in Parallel Computing. Start date: 1st August 2017. Modeling Parallel Computing Systems Behavior.

Your assignments

Study of the behavior, efficiency, and resiliency of parallel computing systems on the operational,
application, cost, and performance levels

  • Develop models that capture the behavior of parallel computing systems to facilitate a holistic view and understanding of their behavior; the holistic System model has to be useful for new hardware releases
  • Use monitoring tools throughout the various layers of the computing systems software stack
  • Analyze the massive monitoring data to extract patterns of events and correlations between events
  • Verify and validate the developed models by injecting the same events into a parallel system
  • Employ own and acquire new computer science theoretical, simulation, and experimental skills

Your profile

A Master's degree (or equivalent) in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Computational
Science or Mathematics

  • Good mathematical, statistical, and analytical skills
  • Very good programming skills (C, C++, Java, Python, R, Spark, etc.)
  • Very good knowledge of operating systems, in particular Linux
  • Fluency in English (verbally and in writing), knowledge of German can be a plus
  • High (self-)motivation
  • Strong team-working abilities
  • Ease of interaction in a multicultural environment

We offer you

The chance to join a highly motivated scientific team

  • State-of-the-art computing equipment (desktop and parallel computers)
  • An attractive international and multicultural work environment
  • High work ethics
  • The opportunity to study at the oldest University in Switzerland

Application / Contact

Send your application (cover and motivation letter max 300 words, full CV including contact Information of 2-3 reference persons, transcripts of undergraduate and graduate studies, translated into English, and links to/attachments of master and internship thesis/reports, and publications, if applicable) as a single PDF file to Yvonne Wegmüller (yvonne.wegmueller@unibas.ch) and include "PhD Position in Parallel Computing MLS SysMod" in the subject line. If you have any question about the position (before applying) please contact Prof. Florina Ciorba (florina.ciorba@unibas.ch).
Women are especially encouraged to apply. The application deadline is 28th February 2016.
