- PARALLEL COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE
-
- 2 Research Posts
-
-
- Applications are invited for two research posts associated with the ESPRIT
- project OMI/HORN. The appointees will join the Logic Programming Systems
- and Computer Architecture Group, led by Professor David Warren, which forms
- part of the Advanced Computing Research Centre in the Faculty of
- Engineering.
-
- The OMI/HORN project is coordinated by Inmos and forms part of the ESPRIT
- Open Microprocessor Systems Initiative. The project aims to develop the
- building blocks for the next generation of high performance (parallel)
- computers. University of Bristol will work on cache coherency aspects of
- the project, contributing its previous work on the DDM (Data Diffusion
- Machine), a scalable memory organisation supporting virtual shared memory.
- The research will involve emulating the DDM on the new architectures,
- evaluating the performance of large shared-memory applications, and
- designing a combination of hardware and software that can best support the
- concept of virtual shared memory efficiently on a scalable multiprocessor
- with point-to-point communication.
-
- The work will involve close collaboration with Inmos, and interactions with
- other European partners in the OMI/HORN project. Computing facilities
- available for this work include a 20-transputer Meiko Computing Surface, a
- 12-processor Sequent Symmetry, and a network of Sun and HP workstations and
- servers. The main implementation language will be C.
-
- Applicants should have a good honours degree, a strong interest in the
- subject of the research, and relevant postgraduate experience, including
- experience with one or more of: computer architecture, multiprocessors,
- transputers, or C. The posts are available from 1 September 1992 and are
- tenable for seventeen months in the first instance with an expected
- extension of a further twenty-one months subject to approval of funding for
- the second phase of the OMI/HORN project. Appointments will be made
- according to age and experience on the RA1A, RA2, or RA3 salary scales
- (12,129-19,328, 17,827-23,739, or 22,487-28,165 pounds, all under review).
-
- Letters of application, including a CV, a statement of research interests,
- and the names and addresses of two referees, should be sent to the
- Personnel Office, Senate House, Bristol BS8 1TH, preferably by 15 August
- 1992. Informal enquiries can be made by telephone (0272-303322) or by
- electronic mail (hornjobs@uk.ac.bristol.acrc).
