Descripción
Context And Mission
The Laboratory of Open Computer Architecture (LOCA) at Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims to break through traditional disciplinary silos and lead the research and development of European open software and hardware stacks based on the RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture for Exascale and beyond.
This will be done with BSC's scientific departments to produce highly optimized grand challenge scientific applications in climate modelling, personalized medicine and energy.
LOCA spans topics ranging from Computer Architecture to System Software to Applications, in both traditional HPC and emerging High-Performance Data Analytics (HPDA) and is working towards EU autonomy in HPC technologies.
BSC is looking for one domain expert for each of the centre's application departments (Earth Science, Life Science and Engineering Sciences) to contribute to this aim.
This is being done with the support of BSC's Severo Ochoa award for the period, which aims to boost BSC capacities to codesign hardware and software, maximise internal and external synergies, expand international leadership, provide best-practice career development with strong gender actions, and enhance societal engagement and technology transfer.
The candidate will work for the Earth Sciences Department, led by Prof Francisco Doblas-Reyes, aims to deliver novel, advanced, and well-evaluated high-resolution global climate models capable of simulating and predicting climate estimations with unprecedented reliability.
Main goal:
Apply domain expertise and coordinate activities performed by the Earth Sciences computational applications focused on the identification, characterization, optimization, and co-design of HPC applications in collaboration with experts on system software and open hardware architectures.
