> Project Summary:
>
>    The position is offered as part of a long-term research project
>    about performance-oriented application development for parallel
>    and distributed systems.

>    The main task of this position requires to develop a performance
>    prediction tool for object-oriented multi-threaded parallel and
>    distributed applications exploiting both data and task parallelism.
>    These applications are executed on clusters of SMPs or network of
>    workstations. Analytical performance prediction will be used to
>    determine parameterized cost functions for small components of a
>    parallel/distributed application. Parameters in cost functions
>    reflect the problem sizes of an application and the machine sizes
>    of a target architecture. Simulation will be used to model
>    highly dynamic behavior of applications and architectures, in
>    particular, data exchange, synchronization, thread context-switches,
>    etc. The performance prediction tool computes various performance
>    parameters including estimated execution and communication times,
>    synchronization overhead, memory locality, load balance, etc.
