Subject: 4 PhD compiler studentships University of Edinburgh, UK


4 PhD studentship in Machine Learning based Parallelisation and
HW/SW co-Design of Heterogeneous multi-cores at University of Edinburgh


The School of Informatics, University of Edinburgh invites
applications for four PhD studentships in the general area of
parallelisation for, and HW/SW co-design of, heterogenous multi-cores.


The project will look at a variety of projects in the areas of
parallelisation and co-design where machine learning is a key
technique to select the best optimisation or design.


Parallelisation topics include the development of new techniques for
mapping parallelism using machine learning; investigating dynamic
compilation in the prescence of workload as well as and prototyping
OpenCL (or similar) implementations where appropriate.


HW/SW co-Design projects include design space exploration of the
compiler/heterogeneous architecture co-space, compiler-directed
selection of hardware confifgurations and dynamic hardware
configuration based on runtime load.


Typical topics include:


- Mapping parallelism to multi-core/GPUs


- Discovering and mapping parallelism to OpenCL


- co-Design space exploration of compiler/architecture
      heterogeneous multicore architecture


- Compilation for runtime adaptive hardware


- Combined compiler/runtime offline/online adaptation to flexible hardware.


- JIT compilation in the presence of dynamic hardware.


The project topics are however flexible and can change based on the
applicants' interests.


Suitable candidates will have a strong first degree in Computer
Science and a strong interest in parallel programming, dessgn space
exploration, optimizing compilers or machine learning. The exact
topic of the PhD depends on the candidate's interests. We are looking
for the brightest minds to pursue research in a cutting-edge arena.


The anticipated start date is Sept 2011 but this is flexible


Candidates are encouraged to contact Michael O'Boyle mob@inf.ed.ac. uk
to informally discuss the project further. Formal application will
then be through the School's normal PhD application process.
