PhD Student (R1)

Applications are invited for PhD student positions at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center (BSC-CNS). The PhD student will become a member of a world class research group that frequently contributes to top computer architecture and high-performance computing venues SC, ISCA, HPCA, HPDC, or PPoPP).



Research activities will be focused on one or several of the following topics, among others:



1. Virtual memory management: Acceleration of virtual to physical address translation, hardware support for OS, management of irregular workloads.



2. High-performance computing architectures: Acceleration of floating-point intensive workloads via reconfigurable or vector processors.



3. Cache management policies for graph and strongly irregular workloads.



4. Numerical libraries for scientific computing with focus on long vector architectures.
