SFI-funded PhD positions in energy-efficient computing
The Heterogeneous Computing Laboratory in the School of Computer Science at University College Dublin (UCD) is seeking suitable PhD candidates. These 4-year positions are funded by Science Foundation Ireland (SFI) as part of an SFI Frontiers for the Future grant to conduct a research programme “Models, Algorithms and Software for Energy-efficient Parallel Computing in Heterogeneous Hybrid Multicore Era”.
The project aims to develop models, methods, algorithms, and software for optimization of the energy and performance of applications in modern highly heterogeneous and hybrid systems, used in HPC, Internet of Things, Smart Cities, and many other current and emerging digital platforms. While the mainstream approach to energy optimization of computing is to optimize the execution environment rather than applications running in the environment, this project will focus on optimization of applications, not executing platforms, aiming to find all their energy/performance Pareto-optimal configurations. The developed methods and algorithms will be applied to a wide range of applications and platforms.
The successful PhD candidate will have a BSc honours degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Computational Science. A master’s degree and strong mathematical skills will be an advantage. Ideally, they should be proficient in C programming and should have a working knowledge of parallel computing concepts. Their interests should lie in the software/hardware interface.
The offered 4-year scholarship fully covers tuition fees and a stipend of 18,500 Euro per annum. The successful candidate is expected to start in September 2022.
