A joint French-Romanian grant for PhD studies in the area of
high performance computing
Parallel QR factorization and its application to least squares problems
A grant for PhD student is available in the area of high performance
scientific computing. The grant is funded by the Research and Teaching
French Ministry in the
context of a collaboration network between France and Romania and is
allocated to the INRIA Futurs Research Laboratory, in Orsay / Paris and
the Automatica Department of Politehnica University in Bucharest. The
grant is for three years and supports three 6 months long research
visits by the PhD student (one for each of the three years of the grant)
to work at the INRIA institute. The remaining time, the PhD student is
expected to conduct the research and possibly be involved in teaching at
Automatica Department of Politehnica University in Bucharest. The
monthly (tax free) income while in France is 940 Euros.
The PhD project is in the field of high performance scientific
computing. It focuses on development and analysis of efficient
techniques for performing in parallel the QR factorization as used in
solving least squares problems. Applications of least squares are of
crucial importance in many fields, such as, for example, signal
processing, geodesy, statistics. The objective is to study techniques
that allow an effective parallel implementation, while preserving as
much as possible the structure of the input matrix. The parallelization
of the computation is an important part of the project, since the target
of the research are the very large systems as driven by present day
applications. Those can be only solved with help of the largest
computers performing more than trillion flops per second. The different
techniques will be implemented and tested in C and the MPI message
passing interface library.
This project is part of a larger collaboration with the University of
California at
Berkeley, USA. Funds for research visits and participation in international
conferences will also be available.
Applications are particularly encouraged from those with research
interests, and/or
experience, in parallel computing, linear algebra, scientific computing, and
programming experience in C and MPI.
