About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center
Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads largescale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 900 staff from 55 countries.

Context And Mission
Software systems used in domains such as automotive, space, large scientific infrastructures or smart cities, have seen their complexity drastically increased in the last years due to the need of implementing advanced functionalities applied to cutting edge research areas like autonomous driving, traffic management, etc. The performance requirements of these new functionalities urge the use of parallel and heterogeneous architectures capable of delivering the expected throughput while still considering other nonfunctional aspects of the system like realtime requirements, faulttolerance, and energy budgets, among others.
The research activities will be focused on one or several of the following topics, among others:
1. In close collaboration with leading automotive and space companies, development of software system prototypes to address the requirements of cutting-edge functionalities.
2. Optimization of advanced software functionalities targeting parallel computing architectures, including multicore systems, GPUs and/or FPGAs.
3.

Programming models:

use, implementation and extension of programming models with parallel capabilities, like OpenMP and CUDA, to target complex software systems, and concurrent languages like RUST and Ada.

Code transformation and optimization:
high-level synthesis and compilation techniques to boost performance, predictability and correctness, mostly based on LLVM and MLIR.

Runtime systems:
run-time techniques to boost performance, heterogeneity (targeting GPUs and FPGAs) and fault-tolerance.

The financing entities are the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation and the European Union-NextGenerationEU, within the framework of the PRTR and the MRR, all in accordance with what is established in this regard, in particular, in accordance with the provisions of article 34.2 of Regulation (EU) 2021/241 of the European Parliament and of the Council, of February 12, 2021.
Key Duties
Research on parallel programming models towards productivity and other nonfunctional requirements
Development of compiler and runtime techniques to support extensions for performance and other nonfunctional requirements.
Write technical reports and papers
Attend technical meetings

Requirements:

Education
Bachelor degree in Computer Sciences or similar
