Scientific Programmer at PDC - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

Department information

The PDC – Center for High Performance Computing is the leading Swedish supercomputing center hosted by KTH. It operates state-of-the-art computational and storage resources for a variety of scientific application domains, including mechanics, computational chemistry, life sciences, climatology, and physics. Amongst these systems is the currently largest supercomputer in the Nordics, Beskow, a 2.5 PF Cray XC-40 system with over 67,000 cores. PDC has a long history working with academic codes, particularly in Molecular Dynamics (e.g. GROMACS) and CFD (e.g. NEK5000). Together with leading researchers in this field PDC is active in international and national projects aiming at improving the performance and scalability of these codes towards the Exascale.

Job description

The work is aimed at enhancing the performance and scalability of world-leading MD (GROMACS) and CFD (NEK5000) codes towards the Exascale, employing different parallelization and optimization strategies as well as exploiting modern HPC hardware features (SIMD, GPU, HBM, etc.). The successful candidates will join an existing team of programmers and CFD and MD experts at PDC and the KTH CFD and MD groups. The work is linked to a nationally funded SSF project and will also contribute to projects in the context of the Swedish e-Science research centre (SeRC) as well as international, EC funded projects like ExaFLOW and BioExcel.

Qualifications

Candidates need to have an academic education (preferably PhD) in computer science, computational science, or in a science area using molecular dynamics or CFD simulations.
Proven experiences in developing and working with large scientific codes on large HPC systems. Experiences with molecular dynamics or CFD codes are a plus. Excellent knowledge of parallel computing (MPI, OpenMP, GPU, etc.) is required. Good knowledge of Linux and security mechanisms is required.
