Organization: Vienna University, Austria




Dear Colleague,


I have a position for a doctoral student available at
the University of Vienna. I'd be grateful if you would pass
the advertisement below on to any suitably-qualified person
who might be interested in it.


Best Regards

        ***********************************************************
        *** Research Position in Execution-Driven Performance ***
        *** Analysis for Distributed and Parallel Systems ***
        ***********************************************************


Applicants should have knowledge in one or more of the
following areas:


+ distributed and parallel systems
+ performance measurement, monitoring, and tracing
                + on-line and post-execution performance analysis
+ performance visualization
+ programming skills
+ distributed programming (Java)
+ parallel programming (OpenMP, MPI, Threads, HPF ...)
+ databases and expert systems


Position: Research position for a doctoral student.


Starting Date: immediately


Duration: until April 2003.


Project Summary:


      The position is offered as part of a long-term research project
      about performance-oriented application development for distributed
      and parallel systems.


      The main task of this position requires to develop a performance
      analysis system that searches for performance problems in
      object-oriented multi-threaded distributed and parallel
      applications exploiting both data and task parallelism.
      These applications are executed on clusters of SMPs or on
      heterogeneous workstation networks. Various instrumentation systems
      are used to obtain raw performance data while executing a program.
      Performance data may be stored in a data repository (database or
      expert system) for post-execution analysis. The system to be developed
      tries to find performance problems based on collected and computed
      performance data, and information about the input program provided by
      a compiler. Performance problems will be associated with the input
      program. Based on detected performance problems further decisions
      may be taken, e.g. refinement of instrumentation, more detailed
      search for performance problems, application and system changes
      to improve performance, etc.

        ********************************************************
        *** Research Position in Performance Prediction of ***
        *** Distributed and Parallel Applications ***
        ********************************************************


Applicants should have knowledge in one or more of the
following areas:


+ distributed and parallel systems
+ programming skills
+ distributed programming (Java)
+ parallel programming (OpenMP, HPF, MPI, threads, ...)
+ performance modeling (analytical + symbolic + simulation)
+ simulation tools (discrete event simulation)


Position: Research position for a doctoral student.


Starting Date: immediately


Duration: 3 years


Project Summary:


      The position is offered as part of a long-term research project
      about performance-oriented application development for parallel
      and distributed systems.


      The main task of this position requires to develop a performance
      prediction tool for heterogeneous, object-oriented multi-threaded
      parallel and distributed applications exploiting both data and
      task parallelism. These applications are executed on clusters
      of SMPs or on heterogeneous workstation networks.
      Analytical performance prediction will be used to determine
      parameterized cost functions for small components of a
      parallel/distributed application. Parameters in cost functions
      reflect the problem sizes of an application and the machine sizes
      of a target architecture. Simulation will be used to model
      highly dynamic behavior of applications and architectures, in
      particular, data exchange, synchronization, thread context-switches,
      etc. The performance prediction tool computes various performance
      parameters including estimated execution and communication times,
      synchronization overhead, memory locality, load balance, etc.
