LERIS is seeking candidates for a post-doctoral fellowship position for 24 months to work in the recently created SMARTNESS FAPESP Engineering Research Center (ERC). The candidate will work specifically in the area of disaggregation of resources. Disaggregation is a concept where resources are separated into pools, facilitating elasticity, deployment and management. The main idea is to carry out the functional decomposition of applications into blocks of codes and map these blocks to different hardwares such as programmable network devices (e.g. Tofino switches), SmartNICs and FPGAs, which are used to perform network processing and other specialized functions, releasing the CPU to only handle applications. The candidate will need to understand how LLVM and other tools such as Intel® oneAPI DPC++/C++ Compiler may be used to build the solution. The candidate will work under the supervision of Prof. Fábio Luciano Verdi in the scope of DisCoNet Research Strand.
