DescriptionThe usage of smart network cards and smart network switches is a recent trend used in the IT industry. Network components are getting programmable and they can take over compute and control tasks. The German BMBF funded project ScalNEXT (“Optimierung des Datenmanagements und des Kontrollflusses von Rechenknoten für Supercomputing“) will study the opportunities and benefits of smart network devices for HPC. As part of this research, LRZ is participating in development of interfaces and fitting extensions of parallel programming models (MPI, Task-based runtimes), and it will focus on the evaluation of proposed concepts, both using existing HPC hardware as well as modelling benefits for larger node counts. For this, LRZ is looking for a
Scientific Research Assistant
You are looking for doing research at one of the largest German Supercomputing Centers? Join us!
Your Role:
Work with smart NICs (two types: Nvidia BlueField DPUs with Infiniband and FPGA-based with 100Gb/s Ethernet) and smart Switches (BareFoot),
Define interfaces and do prototype extensions for communication runtimes (MPI, Task-based models) in tight collaboration with project partners,
Select and work with simulators to get projections of developed ideas for large-scale systems, calibrating model parameters from analyzing existing hardware and example applications,
Disseminate your findings in peer-reviewed publications and present them at national and international conferences.
The ScalNEXT project is a collaboration of LRZ with TUM (Technical University of Munich), JGU (Johannes Gutenberg-Universität) Mainz, KIT (Karlsruhe Institute of Technology), RWTH Aachen, and APS Networks.
