Date: Wed, 10 Mar 2004 23:12:32 -0800 From: Rastislav Bodik <bodik@cs.berkeley.edu> Subject: job at Sun Labs Message-id: <HUEHEM00.PT0@gateway.EECS.Berkeley.EDU> The Mayhem group at Sun Labs is looking to hire a recent Ph.D. (or equivalent) to work in the area of novel memory architectures for object-oriented computing. We currently have a high-level simulation infrastructure which has yielded encouraging results. The next phase of the project is to do a detailed design study, involving the construction or adaptation of a cycle-accurate processor model, modification of a high-performance Java VM to incorporate our new GC techniques, porting of the JVM to the processor model, and detailed study of the resulting system's behavior. An ideal candidate would have experience in JVM internals, computer architecture and micro-architecture (especially cache and memory system design), familiarity with simulation tools such as Simics, and excellent high- and low-level programming skills. We offer the opportunity to work in a small, well-resourced and tightly-knit team on a project that could have significant impact on the structure of future computing devices. We have excellent relationships with Sun's JVM implementors and chip architects. The job posting may be found at http://www.sun.com/corp_emp/search.cgi?funcs=&loc=&keyword=534957&x=24&y=11.
