We have an open PhD position for which we are looking for
candidates with strong smalltalk skills. This PhD opens in the
scope of the ERATO european project,
This project aims at developping a new space-oriented
system-on-chip, with
reconfigurable capabilities.
The project gathers many industrial partners (ASTRIUM, THALES, ...)
and three academic partners.
Our institute is in charge of developping the programming
environment. We benefit from a large legacy, written in visualworks.
The thesis will focus on industrial research perspectives (agile
tools development, configuration compaction, target modeling, code
generation, ...).
One important contribution will be to expose a manipulation API to
application Designers while protecting the hardware intellectual
property. Also some compression schemes, used for video coding, will
be stressed against practical experimentation when downsizing the
bitstream (binary representation of the application).
The PhD will be located in Brest
(
http://www.brest-metropole-tourisme.fr/en), in the ENSTA
engineering institute (
http://www.ensta-bretagne.eu).
Duration: 36 months
Starts: January 2014
