RESEARCHER - MACHINE LEARNING AND LLVM EXTENSIONS ON RISC-V CLOUD ENVIRONMENTS (R2)

About BSC The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain.
It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe.
The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress.
BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 900 staff from 55 countries.
Look at the BSC experience.
BSC-CNS YouTube Channel Let's stay connected with BSC Folks! We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research.
In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.
Context And Mission The data-centric computing group from the computer science department at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center searches for 1 engineer towards compilers enablement for cloud environments on novel architectures (RISC-V).
He/she must be willing to work on an adapting and porting LLVM compiler to different languages (Go) and environments (RustVMM) to RISC-V architectures in an EU project, for the course .
The main objective is to participate in European research projects focused on porting Big Data infrastructures towards novel RISC-V technologies, for data analytics, machine learning and deep learning use cases and goals.
For this, we're looking for a RE2 to join the DCC group and port Data Analytics runtimes and optimizations for novel RISC-V cloud-environments, as well as all the necessary LLVM extensions.
The mentioned tasks involve academic efforts as experimenting and deploying HPDA platforms, AI/ML platforms, and compilers for novel platforms, also communicate research results (writing scientific papers, assisting to scientific conferences,...).
Key Duties Implement LLVM extensions (in C++) to support new languages to RISC-V Contribution to the development and porting of Big Data and Machine Learning frameworks Design of statistical and ML experiments towards multi-domain cases with large-volume data Contribute to collaborations with different international research partners Give mutual support to other researchers in the project Requirements Education M.
c.
on computer science, computer architecture or related fields (or close to finishing the master).
Essential Knowledge and Professional Experience Basic skills in Compilers (i.
., LLVM), Virtualization and Containers (Kubernetes and Docker) Basic skills in Big Data and Machine Learning platforms (Spark and TensorFlow) Knowledge of C++ (mandatory) Bash/Java/Python/R languages and scripting Basic skills in Linear Algebra libraries (BLAS, LAPACK or similar) Additional Knowledge and Professional Experience Experience in RISC-V architectures and cross-compiling tool-chains Basic skills in emulators, simulators and FPGA (e.
., QEMU and GEM5) Experience in Reproducible Research (Notebooks, GIT, etc...)
