Funded PhD Places in the Computer Science of Parallelism at Edinburgh

EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Pervasive Parallelism (Funded PhD Places)

The EPSRC-funded Centre for Doctoral Training in Pervasive Parallelism at the University of Edinburgh is pleased to offer 10 fully funded four-year studentships across all areas relevant to the “pervasive parallelism challenge”. Students undertake an initial MSc by Research year, followed by three years of PhD study.

Research Topics in Pervasive Parallelism

The computing industry faces its most disruptive challenge for fifty years. For performance and energy reasons, parallelism permeates all layers of the computing infrastructure, from the manycore CPUs and GPGPUs inside smartphones up to supercomputers and globally networked distributed systems. These systems generate fascinating research challenges in many areas of Computer Science, from theory to practice.

* How should we design parallel programming languages and compilers?

* How should we design and implement parallel architectures and communication networks?

* What theories do we need to prove properties of such systems, or to model and reason about their performance?

* How can concurrent and distributed systems be made secure?

* How can we trade performance for energy in context sensitive ways?

* How can we make algorithms and applications robust against the failures inevitable in exascale systems?
