[pl-seminar] [Fwd: Compiler positions at Cray]

[Thomas Reps <reps@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Opportunities at Cray:

I received e-mail from someone at Cray saying they are looking for 
compiler people:
"I've pasted in the text of one such position below. (The 
'Careers' tab at www.cray.com will lead to the whole set.).   While the 
requirement below is nominally for a B.S., most of our recent hires have 
been at the PhD level."

Compiler Optimization



Cray has an opening for a motivated and skilled software developer to 
join its Compiler group. The Compiler Optimization Engineer will work on 
improving the optimization and parallelization phases of the Cray 
Fortran, C, and C++ compilers. This includes both significant research 
and product development activities, as Cray continues to advance the 
state of the art of its compiler across dissimilar architectures.


RESPONSIBILITIES:



This work includes the design and implementation of new compiler-based 
optimizations, enhancing existing optimizations, the implementation of 
new high-level language features, adapting evolving programming models 
to Cray architectures, and working to improve the overall quality of the 
compiler.


QUALIFICATIONS:

   * B.S. Computer Science, Electrical and Computing Engineering, or 
similar discipline is required. Advanced degrees are welcome.
   * At least 5 years experience in compiler development or equivalent 
combination of education and experience, particularly with regard to 
compiler optimization.
   * Background in high performance computing (HPC) architectures, 
including multiprocessors, distributed memory systems, and GPU 
accelerators, is highly desired.
   * Proficiency writing in C is critical, and familiarity with C++ is 
desired.
   * Knowledge of Fortran is a plus.
   * Experience in working with large projects, or an advanced thesis 
in an appropriate area.
   * Commitment to sound software engineering principles, outstanding 
problem solving skills, ability to work well in a cooperative 
development environment, both within and across teams, and good written 
and verbal communications skills.
   * Must be motivated to have an impact on our products, our company, 
and the state of the art.
