Postdoctoral Fellow for Advanced Optical Interconnects in Datacenters
Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory
The Computer Architecture Group (CAG) is interested in the design, architecture and programming of future HPC systems to enable continued scientific research. A timely question for our group is how to prepare future HPC and data center systems given the expectation of many heterogeneous computing resources, and the continued need for higher performance efficiency to reach the next milestone after exascale computing. CAG is investigating related topics as well, such as specialized hardware accelerators, micro-architectural enhancements, new devices to replace existing CMOS transistors, emerging memories, 3D, and photonics.
These challenges have motivated the research in the Photonic Integrated Networked Energy efficient datacenter (PINE) project. The PINE architecture addresses the data movement challenge by leveraging the unique properties of photonics to steer bandwidth to where it is needed rather than over-provisioning network resources, which significantly increases energy consumption. Photonics can also be used to efficiently perform resource disaggregation which includes advanced photonic link technology, Photonic Multichip modules, and optical circuit switches to dynamically reconfigure/aggregate resources to meet the needs of diverse workloads. We are seeking a Postdoctoral Fellow for Advanced Optical Interconnects in Datacenters to participate primarily in system-level architectural studies using models of emerging photonic components. In particular, the focus of this position is to design novel ways for resource disaggregation and network reconfiguration at every level (node to system) to best serve HPC and datacenter applications and take advantage of the unique strengths of optical switches and links. This project requires expertise in networks and computer architecture. The successful candidate will also have opportunities to participate in exciting projects in related fields, such as in micro-architectural research towards improving performance of critical HPC and datacenter applications. We value and strive for diversity in backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives. What You Will Do:
