Opportunities

The candidate will work in the area of disaggregation of resources. Disaggregation is a concept where resources are separated into pools, facilitating elasticity, deployment and management. The main idea is to carry out the functional decomposition of applications into blocks of codes and map these blocks to different hardwares such as programmable network devices (e.g. Tofino switches), SmartNICs and FPGAs, which are used to perform network processing and other specialized functions, releasing the CPU to only handle applications. The focus of this research is to identify the blocks of a given application (to be defined), generate the Intermediate Representation (IR) using LLVM, and then compile the blocks to the right target.
