          + parallelization and vectorization tools 
     
     
     Position: Research positions for PhD students or post-docs.
     
     Starting Date: April 10, 2000
     
     Duration: 3 years
     
     
     Project Summary:
     
        The positions are offered as part of the priority research 
        program AURORA (http://www.par.univie.ac.at/research/aurora.html)
        in the context of languages and compilers for parallel and 
        distributed high-performance computing systems.
     
        The main objective of this project is the development of 
        high-level languages and associated compilation techniques, 
        execution models, and runtime support systems for parallel 
        and distributed high-performance computing systems. These
        developments are performed in cooperation with application
        designers in areas such as quantum mechanics, financial 
        optimization, and others. 

        Areas of research in this context include heterogenous, 
        distributed systems and metacomputing applications exploiting
        multiple levels of data parallelism and task parallelism, 
        coordination languages, and dynamic and adaptive compilation 
        techniques. 
     
        The main project platforms are clusters of SMPs and vector-
        parallel supercomputers.
