A t imely question for our group is how to prepare future HPC and data center systems given the expectation of many heterogeneous computing resources, a nd the continued need for higher performance efficiency to reach the next milestone after exascale computing. CAG is investigating related topics as well, such as specialized hardware accelerators, micro-architectural enha ncements, new devices to replace existing CMOS transistors, emerging memor ies, 3D, and photonics.\n\nThese challenges have motivated the research in the Photonic Integrated Networked Energy efficient datacenter (PINE) proj ect. The PINE architecture addresses the data movement challenge by levera ging the unique properties of photonics to steer bandwidth to where it is needed rather than over-provisioning network resources, which significantl y increases energy consumption. Photonics can also be used to efficiently perform resource disaggregation which includes advanced photonic link tech nology, Photonic Multichip modules, and optical circuit switches to dynami cally reconfigure/aggregate resources to meet the needs of diverse workloa ds.\n\nWe are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for Advanced Optical Interconn ects in Datacenters to participate primarily in system-level architectural studies using models of emerging photonic components. In particular, the focus of this position is to design novel ways for resource disaggregation and network reconfiguration at every level (node to system) to best serve HPC and datacenter applications and take advantage of the unique strength s of optical switches and links. This project requires expertise in networ ks and computer architecture. The successful candidate will also have oppo rtunities to participate in exciting projects in related fields, such as i n micro-architectural research towards improving performance of critical H PC and datacenter applications.\n\nWe value and strive for diversity in ba ckgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.\n\nWhat You Will Do:\n• Design a nd implement a multi-scale modeling and simulation environment to model th e impact of a wide range of ideas in computer networks and architecture.\n • Capture communication and computation traces from important HPC and data center applications using CPUs and GPUs to guide this study.\n• Work close ly with the developers of emerging optical components such as switches for incorporation into the simulation framework, including developers of othe r relevant technologies. Provide feedback and suggestions to those develop ers on how to improve their components to better fit HPC and data center s ystems.\n• Use demonstrated expertise in networks and computer architectur e to design a novel approach to resource disaggregation and network reconf iguration in all system levels that includes the reconfiguration algorithm , physical topology limitations, topology construction, routing, adapting to different optimization goals, impact to the applications, etc.\n• Colla borate with algorithm and software developers for the purpose of making re sults of research easily accessible to them.\n• Participate in all request ed assignments, including research, preparation of funding proposals, docu mentation of results and reporting results to sponsors.\n• Establish resea rch directions and pursue funding opportunities.\n\nWhat is Required:\n• P hD in Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, Computational Science, Mechan ical Engineering, Physics or a related discipline.\n• Understanding of dev ices and their models, 3D integration, emerging memory technologies, and a rchitecture specialization (e.g., accelerators).\n• Demonstrated expertise in working with modeling and simulation methods and software tools for ha rdware exploration.\n• Demonstrated expertise in setting research directio n and priorities for future computing architectures or network architectur es.\n• Demonstrated expertise in Verilog, C++, Python.\n• Familiarity with HPC and datacenter applications.\n• Excellent verbal and written communic ation skills.\n• Demonstrated ability to work effectively as part of a cro ss-disciplinary team.\n\nDesired Qualifications:\n• Demonstrated expertise in photonic systems.\n• Demonstrated expertise in HPC or datacenter appli cations.\n• Demonstrated expertise in Scala.\n• Understanding of programmi ng models popular in HPC and datacenters.\n\nFor full consideration, pleas e apply by October 29, 2020.\n\nNotes:\n• This is a full-time 2 year, post doctoral appointment with the possibility of renewal based upon satisfacto ry job performance, continuing availability of funds and ongoing operation al needs. You must have less than 3 years of paid postdoctoral experience. Salary for Postdoctoral positions depends on years of experience post-deg ree.\n• This position is represented by a union for collective bargaining purposes.\n• Salary will be predetermined based on postdoctoral step rates .\n• This position may be subject to a background check.
