Informació: Context And Mission
The Laboratory of Open Computer Architecture (LOCA) at BSC aims to carry out research programs on topics ranging from computer architecture to system software to applications in both traditional HPC and emerging high-performance data analytics (HPDA). Our work is mainly done in the context of a Spanish project to foster interdepartmental and international collaboration for the next generation of codesigned HPC systems.
The open job position will be integrated into the Operations department within the High-level support team. The team will work on application support for the most relevant projects in Europe, including the improvement of the scalability and performance of selected European scientific applications and tools towards Exascale, Data Analytics and Machine learning, and code refactoring.
Key Duties
- Optimize and adapt scientific application codes to new pre-exascale architectures and systems.
- Improve the performance of existing parallel codes, improve serial efficiency and scalability, change, if necessary, the code, or help developers with their required modifications.
- Choose and adapt algorithms and/or mathematical library routines to improve applications to specific computer architectures (accelerators, new programming models, etc.).
- Provide consultancy to scientists on new computer architectures and programming models.
- Generate performance analysis and benchmarks for selected applications and report the results to the application developers.
- Collaborate with other functional groups at the European and International levels on technical matters related to supporting scientific application work.
