About BSC
The Barcelona Supercomputing Center - Centro Nacional de Supercomputación (BSC-CNS) is the leading supercomputing center in Spain. It houses MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe, was a founding and hosting member of the former European HPC infrastructure PRACE (Partnership for Advanced Computing in Europe), and is now hosting entity for EuroHPC JU, the Joint Undertaking that leads large-scale investments and HPC provision in Europe. The mission of BSC is to research, develop and manage information technologies in order to facilitate scientific progress. BSC combines HPC service provision and R&D into both computer and computational science (life, earth and engineering sciences) under one roof, and currently has over 900 staff from 55 countries.

We are particularly interested for this role in the strengths and lived experiences of women and underrepresented groups to help us avoid perpetuating biases and oversights in science and IT research. In instances of equal merit, the incorporation of the under-represented sex will be favoured.

Context And Mission
The Computer Sciences (CS) department of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims at carrying out research and development to influence the way computing machines are built, programmed and used. The Workflows and Distributed Computing (WDC) group at the Barcelona Supercomputing Center aims at carrying out research on programming models for distributed computing.
More specifically the group will be contributing to the ICOS project which aims at covering the set of challenges coming up when addressing the computing continuum, proposing an approach embedding a well-defined set of functionalities, ending up in the definition of an IoT2cloud Operating System (ICOS). The WDC group contributes to the project with the agent-based version of the COMPSs programming model, already designed with such an underlying infrastructure in mind.
COMPSs is a task-based, parallel programming model offered to applications leveraging ICOS as a mean to automatically distribute their execution. The WDC contribution in the project will focus on the integration of COMPSs with the monitoring system and the dynamic resource management of the ICOS middleware, improving the detection and management of nested tasks within COMPSs and on performing an efficient resource and workload management in such a complex infrastructure.
For this research, the group is looking for a part-time junior engineer, preferably a student, to help to implement some of the required extensions to the runtime of the COMPSs runtime. Additional expertise that will be valued includes distributed computing, scheduling for task-based environments in distributed systems
The job includes also active participation in the projects, attending project meetings, collaborating with partners and writing deliverables.
