Postdoc in Open and Programmable Accelerators for Data-intensive Applications

Postdoc in Open and Programmable Accelerators for Data-intensive Applications (CHORY),

Department of Computer Science at University of Copenhagen (DIKU), PLTC section, invites applicants for a postdoc in the context of the Horizon Europe project CHORYS focused on Open and Programmable Accelerators for Data-Intensive Applications in the Cloud.

Start date is (expected to be) 1st of August 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter. Note that a PhD position is also open. We will hire a postdoc or a PhD, there is only one position.

The project

CHORYS focuses on support for data-intensive applications in the cloud by developing and demonstrating open and programmable accelerators. Through CHORYS, we will demonstrate that European cloud providers and their customers can leverage open accelerators for near-data processing and asynchronous data services to improve the performance, energy-efficiency, and cost of data-intensive applications. Information on the project is available at www.chory.io.

University of Copenhagen is coordinating the project and responsible for tasks including RISC-V softcores integration on experimental accelerators, design and implementation of a programmable SSD prototype, and development of a demonstrator leveraging a programmable SSD.
