RESEARCH GRANT (“BOLSA DE INVESTIGAÇÃO”) – BI/-BOLSA DE INVESTIGAÇÃO PARA MESTRE

Summary A research position for one Research Grant (“Bolsa de Investigação”) is open at Instituto de Telecomunicações, in the scope of the Project LA/P/LA/P/.
This project is funded by FCT- Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia.
Work Objectives The objective of this project is to program Processing-in-Memory accelerators for running LDPC decoders in real-time.
To this end, UPMEM and other types of PiM accelerators will be programmed and analyzed to address challenges such as data transfers, synchronization and multithreading.
Therefore, the detailed objectives of this scholarship are.
(i) investigating and programming parallel PiM accelerators; (ii) develop an optimized PiM-based LDPC decoder; (iii) validate the system through experiments with known LDPC codes, running under low-power parallel computing architectures and real-time performance.
Place of Work The work will be developed at the premises of Instituto de Telecomunicações at Coimbra, under the supervision of Prof.
Gabriel Falcão.
Duration 3 months, with the possibility of renewal.
Start date.
January or soon thereafter.
Monthly Salary € (net), according to the table of grant amounts awarded directly by FCT for positions held in Portugal (www.
