We seek for a research engineer to work on the development of Continuous Deep Analytics (CDA), a project funded by SSF which aims to provide the foundations for data programming systems following two main avenues of research: (i) Algorithms, programming Languages and optimization for continuous analytics on data streams such as time-varying relational models, linear algebra and dynamic graphs ; (ii) Distributed Runtime for complex and fast hardware-accelerated (GPUs, FPGAs) as well as data-parallel processing on data streams with large state. Project Web: https://cda-group.github.io
The chosen candidate will contribute to the development of several of the systems that are being developed within the project. 1) The Arcon runtime system which is the world’s first Rust-based stream and batch processing engine. (2) Kompact, an open source software library originated at KTH which targets distributed programming support which is also written in Rust and used to compose functionality in Arcon.
The candidate will also work closely with PhD students and Faculty at KTH, participate in the research group's regular meetings and discussions and brainstorming sessions. Furthermore, it is expected that the chosen candidate will aid with system evaluation tasks that are necessary for research publications and important for the success of the project.
