Project HUSAR: Heterogeneity and its Usage in High Performance Systems
The diversity and complexity of current computational platforms are continuously increasing. Different types of computational units are combined to build more complex systems at any scale, from consumer electronic devices to exascale supercomputers. As applications are designed to process and move larger volumes of information, this complexity is evident, and managing it is critical to improve efficiency and reduce energy consumption. Project HUSAR proposes to generalize the building of domain-specific solutions in highly heterogeneous systems, focusing on application types that are examples of a wide range of scientific and engineering problems at different scale levels.
Tasks of the post-doc researcher:
Lead project tasks related to the development of abstractions and programming and execution tools for managing distributed systems with heterogeneous devices, including multi- and many-core systems, coprocessors (like GPUs) and/or reconfigurable systems (such as FPGAs). Apply parallelization, optimization, and efficient communication techniques to scientific and engineering applications. Dissemination of results and international promotion of the techniques and tools developed (presentations, tutorials in conferences, etc.)
Possibility to teach up to 80 hours per year in the Computer Science department, in order to gain teaching experience.
Salary: 30000 EUR per year (before taxes).
Duration: 3 years. Starting November 01, 2026
Deadline: To be announced (around September 21st – Oct 07, 2026)
Research group:
The Trasgo research group at the University of Valladolid, Spain, (https://trasgo.infor.uva.es/) has been researching parallel and high-performance computing for more than 20 years. It presents a wide experience and know-how, leading several research projects funded by national and regional competitive calls. It has also participated in several contracts with enterprises. The PhD students graduated from the group have found successful career opportunities in academia and industry.
