Context And Mission
The Computer Sciences (CS) department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims to carry out research and development to influence the way computing machines are built, programmed and used. The Workflows and Distributed Computing group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims to carry out research on programming models for distributed computing. More specifically, this group will be contributing to the CAELESTIS project (https://www.caelestis-project.eu), which aims at the design and predictive manufacturing of next-generation aircraft structures. The group will have a significant effort devoted to the extension of the programming model PyCOMPSs/COMPSs to support the project workflows and develop support services for the project platform.
PyCOMPSs/COMPSs (compss.bsc.es) is a task-based programming model that enables the parallel execution of applications in distributed computing environments. For this research, the group is looking for an engineer to design and implement the required extensions to the runtime of the COMPSs runtime and for the development of support services. The job also includes active participation in the projects, attending project meetings, collaborating with partners and writing deliverables.
