We seek two (2) students enrolled to a University MSc Program for our team. The candidates will contribute to the coordination and management of R&D activities of FORTH-ICS, in a full-time (preferred) or part-time capacity, particularly in the context of the project DEEP-SEA: “DEEP – SOFTWARE FOR EXASCALE ARCHITECTURES”. The 3-year Research & Innovation project DEEP-SEA starts in April 2021, and is co-funded by the European High Performance Computing Joint Undertaking (EuroHPC JU) and the Greek General Secretariat for Research and Innovation. It aims at improving software support for highly heterogeneous systems, which combine different processing units and diverse memory technologies. DEEP-SEA adopts the modular supercomputing architecture (MSA), and considers heterogeneity and performance at both the node level and at the system cluster level. Composability, programmability, portability, malleability, and reliability are targeted with a comprehensive system software and programming environment, which combines traditional models (MPI, OpenMP, OmpSs, GASPI) with higher-level, hardware-agnostic approaches (NabLab, DaCe).
