Job Description

Your responsibilities

Join our team at the ALICE experiment within the CERN Large Hadron Collider (LHC) to develop high-performance computing code for data processing.

ALICE is pioneering the usage of GPUs for the online processing of the TPC in Run 3 and meanwhile also partly in offline reconstruction. In order to better leverage the available GPU compute resources, we aim to improve our GPU code and port more processing steps to GPU.

The first reconstruction passes of the heavy ion data of 2023 allow us to benchmark our event reconstruction code, and we intend to tune it better for real data. In addition, the processing of real data always reveals corner cases not covered by simulations, which must be dealt with. Your overall task will be to develop GPU and event reconstruction code for ALICE as well as to improve and maintain the existing code.

Responsibilities:

- Work in a small team of experts on the ALICE GPU code and event reconstruction code.
- Improve the integration of the GPU code into the CI and develop benchmarks and performance monitoring tools.
- Port more event reconstruction steps to the GPU to improve the resource utilization during offline processing.
- Benchmark and improve the (general, CPU and GPU) event reconstruction code with real data, in particular with respect to clustering and tracking.
- Help debugging problems appearing in event reconstruction during offline processing.

If you're passionate about GPU programming, advancing high-performance computing and contributing to groundbreaking research in particle physics, we encourage you to apply. Join us at the forefront of innovation in LHC data processing.

Your profile

- Experience with high performance computing (HPC).

Eligibility criteria:

- You are a national of a CERN Member or Associate Member State.
- You have a professional background in Computer Science or Physics (or a related field) and have either:

- a Master's degree with 2 to 6 years of post-graduation professional experience;
