College Student Scholarships One position is for a promotion to numerical simulations, which start on graphical processing units (GPUs). In a collaboration between the groups and Dynamat EELAB UGent, we are currently developing this high-performance simulation software that simulates the one hand, be used as the energy efficiency of electrical steel in electromagnetic devices, and read on the other side, and write , for example on the process hard drives. These College Student Scholarships calculations are numerically very intensive. Recently we have begun to develop a multi-function micromagnetic code - nicknamed the "mumax" - which can run on dual GPU and CPU hardware. With the massively parallel architecture of GPUs, the program now works on 100 times faster on this hardware. However, there is room for many techniques and optimization computer many new features such as the development of communication systems for multi-GPU implementations future.
Profile
We are College Student Scholarships currently looking for a new PhD student with a masters degree in either informatics/computer science, engineering, physics or mathematics. The research topic is the optimization of numerical methods for GPU hardware. Although applied to micromagnetic simulations, no specific knowledge of physics or magnetism is needed. A general interest for numerical methods is required though.
You will join College Student Scholarships the work on topics like numerical techniques to solve large systems of coupled differential equations, fast summation techniques, fast Fourier transforms, etc. Both the underlying algorithms as well as their implementation on CPU and GPU hardware are to be optimized. A working knowledge of C/C++ is needed for the low-level GPU implementation. Other parts of the software are now written in C++/Java/Python/Go and scripting languages. They can be extended by modules written in any high-level programming language.
