Paid Undergraduate Positions Available in the Parallel Programming Laboratory

The Parallel Programming Laboratory of the Department of Computer
Science has open positions for undergraduate students interested in
conducting research and development on parallel algorithms and
adaptive runtime systems for large scale computers. He/she will be
involved with exploring new techniques for achieving high performance
on machines with extremely large numbers of processors. A good academic
history, ability to work in teams on software projects, and interest
in developing research software are required.

Our lab comprises a group of highly energetic and motivated
students, post-docs and staff members engaged in (1) developing
techniques for enhancing performance and productivity in parallel
programming, (2) embodying them in parallel programming infrastructures
called Charm++ and Adaptive MPI, and (3) using them in developing
several path-breaking science and engineering applications. We have
access to the latest high-performance systems both on campus and at
other national centers, and maintain research collaborations with top
groups in various areas of computational science and engineering.
Charm++ has excellent potential to explore the new generation of
multi-core processors. Also, we have been working on a programming
methodology for programming the Cell processor based on Charm++ .
More information on the group and ongoing projects can be found at
http://charm.cs.uiuc.edu

Undergraduate students at all levels will be considered, and
previous experience with parallel computing is *not* required.
Compensation will be commensurate with experience in software
development.

If you are interested in these positions, please send an e-mail
to Prof.Kale (kale at uiuc.edu) including a brief description of
your previous preparation and personal interests. 
Important: send your message with a Subject of "Undergrad Position".
