Newsgroups: comp.parallel From: Jarek Nieplocha Subject: position in high performance computing Organization: Pacific Northwest National Laboratory Date: 2 Mar 1998 18:41:31 GMT Message-ID: <6deugr$elr$1@encore.ece.cmu.edu> POSITION: Senior Research Scientist, High Performance Computing RESPONSIBILITIES: Explore, develop, implement and maintain parallel programming and I/O tools and libraries for development of scientific applications on massively parallel computers. Position involves interactions with computational chemists and CFD scientists to define requirements and priorities, and help to adopt the tools in their aplications. REQUIREMENTS: Strong background in high-performance computing, interprocessor communications (including message passing) and distributed data structures. Knowledge of UNIX IPC and shared-memory programming are required. Familiarity with parallel I/O and compiler technology are useful. DESIRED EXPERIENCE: Four or more years experience in high performance computing. EDUCATION: M.S. with four year experience or Ph.D. (preferred) in Computer Science or related discipline. SPECIAL SKILLS: Excellent interpersonal and communication skills are required. Solid understanding of software engineering principles and ability to develop quality code. BACKGROUND: Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory (EMSL) is a $230 million U.S. Department of Energy collaborative research facility at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) opened on October 1, 1997. The EMSL houses several laboratories containing unique experimental (e.g., accelerator, lasers, NMRs) and computational equipment (e.g., 512 processor P2SC IBM SP computer with 67 GBytes of memory and 2.9 TBytes of online disk). In addition the IBM SP massively parallel computer, a 20+ TByte EMASS hierarchical storage management system, high-performance SGI Onyx graphics and visualization systems are available. A next-generation IBM SP with SMP nodes will be installed in early 1998. Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is a multi-disciplinary laboratory of U.S. Department of Energy located in Richland, estern Washington state.
