Interconnection Networks for Server, Storage and HPC Systems Performance Evaluation - Internship at the IBM Research Laboratory, Switzerland The Server Interconnection Networks group http://www.zurich.ibm.com/sys/servers/prizma.html has an opening in flow and congestion control research. The candidate will be simlatng a variety of architectures and protocols - like supercomputer- , server cluster- and Storage Area Network interconnects. Our recent paper on "Solving Hot Spot Contention Using InfiniBand Architecture Congestion Control" at http://www.cercs.gatech.edu/hpidc2005/program.htm exemplifies this type of research - not limited to IBA. Profile We develop enhancements to network architectures, write and run simulation models on Linux clusters and Windows PCs, patent and publish our findings. Expectations Environment The work will be done at the IBM Zurich Research Laboratory. The employment period is six months or longer. Preferred starting date is early 2006. Students will be fully integrated into our small, dynamic team and have the chance to participate to current research projects, patent and publish. Our administration can assist in finding accommodations and living in the Zurich region. IBM’s Research in Europe is headquartered at the Zurich Research Laboratory, which employs ca. 300 top scientists, post-/predocs and students from tens of countries around the world. IBM ZRL is picturesquely situated just outside of Zurich, Switzerland – in the core of Europe. Qualifications: Master, Bachelor, Dipl. Eng. or equivalent Start: After 01.01.2006 Duration: 6 or more months Send your application (CV + 2 references) to http://www.zurich.ibm.com IBM Zurich Research Laboratory, Säumerstrasse 4, CH-8803 Rüschlikon The successful candidate is expected to contribute to this research, with an emphasis on performance simulation and analysis. Skills required: C/C++ on Linux/Windows, IP protocol stacks such as TCP, ECN, AQM. Experience with simulations using Omnet++/Akaroa/Opnet is an advantage.
