A Online Scholarship Applications position exists for a Post-doctoral Research Associate to work on the automated generation of high-performance computer code for scientific applications. The project is funded by EPSRC and will be supervised by Dr Garth N. Wells (http://www.eng.cam.ac.uk/~gnw20). The project will also involve collaboration with researchers at Simula Research Laboratory in Norway. The aim of the Online Scholarship Applications project is to investigate the generation of target-specific computer code from a high-level, expressive input that describes partial differential equations. In particular, the project aims to develop methodologies that are suitable for many-core processors, such as GPGPUs and new generation CPUs. The Online Scholarship Applications successful candidate will have a PhD in applied mathematics, computer science, engineering or natural sciences, and have an affinity for scientific computing. Preference will be given to candidates with demonstrated skills in producing high quality scientific software. Online Scholarship Applications Experience with one or all of the the programming languages Python, C++, CUDA and OpenCL is an advantage.
Further details may be obtained from Dr Garth Wells (gnw20@cam,.ac.uk).
