The French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission (CEA)
is a key player in research, development and innovation in defense
and security, nuclear and renewable energies, technological research
for industry, and fundamental research in the physical sciences and
life sciences. Based in Saclay (Paris region, France), List Institute
is one of CEA three technological research institutes dedicated
to smart digital systems.
The following PhD position is currently open to application:
Unifying Distributed Memories in Heterogeneous Systems
Future computers in high-performance and embedded systems lead to
complex memory hierarchies. Hundreds of computing nodes will have to
be connected to tera-bytes of memories. In such systems, both the
processing units (CPU, GPU, DSP, FPGA) and the memories (DRAM, NVRAM,
FLASH) can be heterogeneous.
Several architectures exist (distributed memory, shared memory, NUMA)
with different hardware implementations (cache coherence,
communication protocols), software implementations (thread
parallelism, OpenMP, transactions) and communication technologies
between processing units and memory (MPI, RDMA, RoCE, CCIX,
GenZ). None of the approaches above offer a simple, unified
programming model and memory model for parallel applications.
The purpose of this Ph.D. Thesis is to study the possibility of using
emerging technologies related to computing units, hybrid memories
(persistent or not) and remote communication standards in order to
accelerate data sharing onto heterogeneous platforms and provide a
convenient programming model.
