Methods and tools for software development for multicore computer systems
Several Ph.D.student positions are available within the UPMARC centre of excellence at Uppsala University. UPMARC has been formed to make a broad coordinated attack on the challenges of developing methods and tools to support software development for multicore computer systems, and brings together research groups in complementary areas of computer science: computer architecture, computer networks, parallel scientific computing, programming language technology, real-time and embedded systems, program verification and testing, and modeling of concurrent computation. UPMARC has been awarded a ten year Linnaeus grant from the Swedish Research Council, as a sign of scientific excellence. Research directions span of UPMARC span over programming language constructs, program analysis and optimization, resource management for performance and predictability, verification and testing, and parallel algorithm construction and implementation. UPMARC welcomes applications from candidates who want to conduct research within one or more of these directions. At this time, we also specifically announce positions in several projects, which are described at http://www.it.uu.se/research/upmarc/, where also more information about UPMARC can be found.
