The Parallel computing and Optimisation Group (PCOG) at the
University of Luxembourg is looking for a Research Associate in
hybrid optimization algorithms for modern supercomputers.<br>
<br>
This is a fully funded position for 2 years in the UltraBO
(Ultra-scale Computing for solving Big Optimization Problems)
project conducted in collaboration with the BONUS (Big
Optimization and Ultra-Scale computing) team of Prof. Melab at the
University of Lille (France).<br>

<div class="moz-forward-container">The UltraBO project aims to
design and implement novel parallel hybrid optimization algorithms
for modern supercomputers. Many experiments reported in the
literature demonstrate that high-quality results are obtained
through hybridization. However, finding efficient and effective
hybridization schemes is challenging and tedious. On the other
hand, according to Top500 modern supercomputers are increasingly
large (millions of cores), heterogeneous (various CPUs, GPU, FPGA,
…) and less and less reliable (Mean Time Between Failures -
MTBF<1h) making their programming increasingly complex. The
design and implementation of parallel algorithms for these
ultra-scale supercomputers is still in its infancy especially in
combinatorial optimization.<br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container"><br>
</div>
<div class="moz-forward-container">The Research Associate will thus
conduct research in the fields of hybrid optimisation algorithms
and parallel computing.<br>
