***********************************************************
*** Research Position in Execution-Driven Performance ***
*** Analysis for Distributed and Parallel Systems ***
***********************************************************
Applicants should have knowledge in one or more of the
following areas:
+ distributed and parallel systems
+ performance measurement, monitoring, and tracing
+ on-line and post-execution performance analysis
+ performance visualization
+ programming skills
+ distributed programming (Java)
+ parallel programming (OpenMP, MPI, Threads, HPF ...)
+ databases and expert systems
Position: Research position for a doctoral student.
Starting Date: immediately
Duration: until April 2003.
Project Summary:
The position is offered as part of a long-term research project
about performance-oriented application development for distributed
and parallel systems.
The main task of this position requires to develop a performance
analysis system that searches for performance problems in
object-oriented multi-threaded distributed and parallel
applications exploiting both data and task parallelism.
These applications are executed on clusters of SMPs or on
heterogeneous workstation networks. Various instrumentation systems
are used to obtain raw performance data while executing a program.
Performance data may be stored in a data repository (database or
expert system) for post-execution analysis. The system to be developed
tries to find performance problems based on collected and computed
performance data, and information about the input program provided by
a compiler. Performance problems will be associated with the input
program. Based on detected performance problems further decisions
may be taken, e.g. refinement of instrumentation, more detailed
search for performance problems, application and system changes
to improve performance, etc.

********************************************************
*** Research Position in Performance Prediction of ***
*** Distributed and Parallel Applications ***
********************************************************
Applicants should have knowledge in one or more of the
following areas:
+ distributed and parallel systems
+ programming skills
+ distributed programming (Java)
+ parallel programming (OpenMP, HPF, MPI, threads, ...)
+ performance modeling (analytical + symbolic + simulation)
+ simulation tools (discrete event simulation)
Position: Research position for a doctoral student or a post-doc.
Starting Date: immediately
Duration: 3 years
Project Summary:
The position is offered as part of a long-term research project
about performance-oriented application development for parallel
and distributed systems.
The main task of this position requires to develop a performance
prediction tool for heterogeneous, object-oriented multi-threaded
parallel and distributed applications exploiting both data and
task parallelism. These applications are executed on clusters
of SMPs or on heterogeneous workstation networks.
Analytical performance prediction will be used to determine
parameterized cost functions for small components of a
parallel/distributed application. Parameters in cost functions
reflect the problem sizes of an application and the machine sizes
of a target architecture. Simulation will be used to model
highly dynamic behavior of applications and architectures, in
particular, data exchange, synchronization, thread context-switches,
etc. The performance prediction tool computes various performance
parameters including estimated execution and communication times,
synchronization overhead, memory locality, load balance, etc.
