Company Description

Join us and make YOUR mark on the World!Are you interested in joining some of the brightest talent in the world to strengthen the United States' security? Come join Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) where our employees apply their expertise to create solutions for BIG ideas that make our world a better place.We are looking for individuals that demonstrate an understanding of working in partnership with team peers, who engage, advocate, and contribute to building an inclusive culture, and provide expertise to solve challenging problems. Job Description We have an opening for a

Postdoctoral Researcher to perform research in the area of compiler optimization of parallel programs for High Performance Computing (HPC). You will work collaboratively with LLNL researchers to research and develop new compiler methodologies to optimize the execution of parallel programs targeting state-of-the-art heterogeneous many-core HPC systems. This position is in the Center for Applied Scientific Computing (CASC) Division within the Computing Directorate.

In this roleyou will
  • Research and develop abstract representations of software and hardware parallelism suitable for semantic analysis and optimization of parallel programs in compilers.
  • Research and develop compiler methodologies to apply and expand existing compiler optimization on parallel codes.
  • Research and develop novel compiler optimization methods to refactor parallel code for optimized execution on heterogeneous HPC systems.
  • Provide support to allow HPC codes to effectively use the developed compiler methodologies.
  • Perform empirical studies to quantify the performance of HPC codes using the developed compiler optimizations.
  • Participate in the establishment of future research directions and contribute to group grant proposals, including preparation and presentation of proposals.
  • Document complex research and development progress via technical reports, journal publications, and conference presentations and collaborate with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to accomplish research goals.
  • Pursue independent (but complementary) research interests and interact with a broad spectrum of scientists internally and externally to define and carry out the research.
Qualifications
