I just got a question on this, so ...
see: http://www.hr.lanl.gov/JPS/SingleJobAd.asp?ReqNumber=202038&ReqScope=INTERNAL%2FEXTERNAL&ReqTitle=STAFF+MEMBER%2DCOMPUTER+SCIENCE&JobType=JobSearch&JobReopened=N --- Summary: Los Alamos National Laboratory has begun an initiative to develop technologies using the Linux operating system, and other open-source software, to support scientific high-performance computing at unprecedented scales (100 TeraFlops and beyond). Computer scientists are sought to join ongoing projects in areas of operating system kernel enhancement, efficient cluster management, scheduling, file systems, scalable tools, reliability, visualization, networking and system modeling and analysis. Candidates bringing expertise in other relevant areas may also be considered. Successful candidates will be part of the Computer and Computational Sciences (CCS) Division. CCS serves as a focal point for LANL research in advanced computing, providing technologically advanced solutions in parallel computation, high-speed networking, scientific visualization, system modeling, informatics, and developmental facilities. The environment encourages development of leading-edge systems software that is relevant to the needs of scientific applications at LANL. --- We're looking for good people with Linux kernel background. It's best if you are a US citizen but not mandatory (we just hired someone from Australia). We're an Open Source operation. All the code we produce here is GPL'ed, and you can see our projects on the Sourceforge (and maybe Bitkeeper too, someday). We like intellectually flexible people, so if you're a "Linux forever" zealot, that's actually not so good (unless you can explain in technical terms why you are). We run Plan 9 and OpenBSD among other things here. We will be picky. One of the guys here is Erik Hendriks, who wrote bproc. We're looking for people of that calibre. If you don't know what bproc is find out before you look at applying. We will be doing lots of fun stuff. Next thing up here is a BIG linuxbios/bproc cluster. More on that later. But we do a lot of small stuff too, as you have seen if you watch this list. For a list of projects we have in progress see: http://www.acl.lanl.gov/cluster/ Anyway, don't email the list about this, if you have questions email me, but better yet check the web page. Feel free to forward this message, but don't forget that the authoritative description of the job is the URL specified above. ron
