[Concurrency] PhD grant in Grenoble (France) on advanced dataflow

Proposal for a PhD position
===========================

Title
=====

Advanced dataflow programming for embedded systems: analyses for
scheduling and power optimization.

Location
========

Grenoble (France): INRIA Grenoble (Pop Art Team).

Supervisors
===========

INRIA Grenoble: Pascal FRADET and Alain GIRAULT.
ST Microelectronics Ottawa: Ali-Erdem OZCAN and Pierre PAULIN.

Application
===========

The PhD grant is for 36 months. The gross income (i.e., before tax) is
around 2.400 ? per month (29.000 ? per year) and includes health
insurance.

Please send your CV and recommendation letters to
alain.girault@inria.fr and pascal.fradet@inria.fr.

Abstract
========

In this project, we focus on dataflow models of computation to program
applications for a new embedded many-core platform designed by ST
Microelectronics, called P2012. The static dataflow model of
computation (SDF) is widely used because it allows analysis (deadlock
and boundedness) and scheduling. SDF has a clean semantics and leads
to efficient implementations but it cannot express many dynamic
features. In particular, it cannot express dynamic input/output rate
modifications, nor dynamic topology modifications.

With ST Microelectronics, we have been working on a variant of SDF
able to express dynamicity while remaining verifiable (for deadlock
and buffer boundedness) and schedulable.

The goal of the PhD is to study analyses for this new dataflow model
of computation. The purpose of these analyses is to generate
distributed schedules for P2012, optimizing the power consumption and
the execution time. Each computing core of P2012 is equipped with a
hardware mechanism for DVFS (dynamic voltage and frequency scaling).

Required Skills
===============

A Master in computer science or computer engineering, with knowledge
in formal methods, embedded systems, and/or real-time programming. A
knowledge of dataflow programming, semantics, code generation, and/or
distributed scheduling would be a plus.

Context
=======

The context of this work is the ST Microelectronics Platform 2012
initiative (P2012). P2012 is a many-core platform that integrates
multiple clusters of processors and HW accelerators with a
hierarchical memory architecture and a NoC. The position is likely to
involve travels between Grenoble (INRIA) and Ottawa (ST Microelectronics).

The main goal of the POP ART team (http://pop-art.inrialpes.fr) is the
safe design of real-time embedded systems. We explore that area
according to several research directions: programming languages,
models of computation, static analysis, formal verification,
implementation, … The research within POP ART concerns:

- design (component and interaction models for real-time systems,
heterogeneity);

- programming (synchronous, domain specific and aspect-oriented
languages);

- verification and correctness by construction (controller synthesis,
compositionally, …);

- code generation (scheduling, fault-tolerance, compilation, …).

Re: [UNIX-WIZ] disk disappears during OS load

Well during boot it’s open prom/openfirmware that’s reading the disk. My
suspicion is your installed kernel has not the right patch level to support
the disk controller on the v480, your jumpstart env might have a different
kernel and so it can find and load the disks, but the installed env has a
kernel that can not. Booting works because the firmware loads the kernel
and the mini-root using the openfirmware drivers. Once the kernel gets
going though it doesn’t have the drivers for that SCSI chip.

This is a guess, and one would have to corroborate with Sun documentation
to confirm, but I’m betting Sol 9 needs a patch to support the 480. :/

**********************************************************************
Application deadline 13th of February (for the 5 years position)
and 18th of February (for the 3 years position)
**********************************************************************

The CLIP (Computational Logic, Implementation and Parallelism) group
is searching for candidates for postdoctoral research positions in the
research areas in which the group is involved. A PhD in Computer
Science or related areas is required.

These are research positions (no teaching is compulsory, although it
is allowed) and renewable for up to 3 or 5 years. The initial salary
(for the 5 year positions) is 44370 Euros/year plus an initial budget
of 15000 Euros for travel and other expenses during the first
year. Knowledge of Spanish is not a prerequisite for application and
candidates can be of any nationality. The working language at the CLIP
group for research is English.

The number of positions available depends on the quality of the
applicants. The positions are co-funded by the Spanish Ministry of
Science and Technology and the Technical University of Madrid within
the Ramon y Cajal and Juan de la Cierva programs.

Selection Process:

Interested applicants should send their c.v. and a description of
their research interests to the CLIP group at
hats-grants@clip.dia.fi.upm.es. The CLIP group will perform a
pre-selection of the best applicants based on their scientific merits
and the relevance of their research interests and experience to the
research activities of the group. The CLIP group will then assist the
pre-selected candidates in accomplishing all required steps to present
the required documentation for the final evaluation step. The
applications, will then be sent to the Spanish Ministry of Science and
Technology which performs the final selection. The details of this
step are described here.
