Subject: Student position in Sweden


                  PhD STUDENT POSITION


                  COMPUTER ARCHITECTURE AND OPTIMISING COMPILERS


The Centre for Computer Systems Architecture (CCA) at Halmstad University,
Sweden, seeks a Ph.D. student for a full-time paid position in the Napai
compiler research project. The research spans two fields of study: computer
architecture and optimising compilers. Depending on the interests of the
student, the research focus of this position will be on one or both of
these fields. The goals of the Ph.D. studies are that the student will:


(1) learn research methodology in the engineering sciences in general and in
        computer architecture and/or optimising compilers in particular,


(2) become an expert in the field of study, and


(3) contribute to the research frontier in the field of study.


The Napai compiler research project is led by Dr. Jonas Skeppstedt.

Subject: Positions at Performance Delivery Lab, HP Cupertino


Job Openings in the areas of Performance Analysis & Compiler Optimization
Performance Delivery Lab
Hewlett-Packard, Cupertino, California


We have multiple job positions available in each of the following areas:


1. Compiler Performance Analysis


      In this exciting position, you will be responsible for analyzing benchmarks
      and applications, and identifying opportunities for improving the performance
      of them on next-generation EPIC processors. You will work closely with the
      compiler optimization teams and you will have the opportunity to implement
      performance improvements in the optimizer. In addition, you will interface
      with the microarchitecture and simulator teams, and may influence future
      processor implementations. You will be involved in setting performance
      goals and projections for each release of the optimizer.


2. Compiler Low-Level Optimization


      In this exciting position, you will be responsible for designing,
      implementing, and testing state-of-the-art optimization techniques in areas
      such as instruction scheduling, register allocation, global optimization,
      memory hierarchy management, and predicated execution for next-generation
      EPIC and PA-RISC processors. You will work closely with the performance
      analysis, microarchitecture, and simulator teams to boost system performance
      by making appropriate trade-offs between compiler optimization and processor
      implementation.


3. Compiler High-Level Optimization


      In this exciting position, you will be responsible for designing,
      implementing, and testing state-of-the-art optimization techniques in the
      areas of inlining, loop transformations, memory hierarchy management, and
      parallelization for next-generation EPIC processors. You will work closely
      with the performance analysis, microarchitecture, and simulator teams to
      boost system performance by making appropriate trade-offs between compiler
      optimization and processor implementation.




Requirements for Above Positions:
o BS, MS or Ph.D degree in Computer Science.
o Solid understanding of compiler optimization fundamentals and theory.
o Strong background in computer architecture and processor micro-architecture.
o Strong understanding of how architecture, compilers, and processor
      implementation impact performance.
o Previous design and implementation experience in one of the above areas
      is highly desirable.
o Strong communication and teamwork skills.


The Performance Delivery Lab is responsible for providing languages products
for all HP Computer systems based on PA-RISC & IA-64 architecture. We have
delivered industry-leading optimization technology in our compilers and have
helped HP achieve breakthrough performance for its computer systems. We
emphasize teamwork, initiative, innovation, and appropriate risk-taking. You
will work with a highly motivated and successful team.


For immediate consideration, please send a resume to one of the following:


US mail:
      Manoj Dadoo
