Permanent research position on NoC and Embedded networks
===================================================================
ONERA (Office National d'Etudes et Recherches Aérospatiales) is the
French national aerospace research center. It is a public research
establishment, with eight major facilities in France and about 2,000
employees, including 1,500 scientists, engineers and technicians.
The position is opened in the LAPS group (Langages, Architectures et
Proofs for embbeded Systems) in the Modeling and Information
Processing Department (DTIM), to do research in the evaluation of
Network on Chip (NoC) and networks, embedded in aircrafts,
spacecrafts, UAVs....
The core of the work consists in researching new methods for mastering
time predictability and deterministic execution of critical
applications in embedded systems. One major evolution in these systems
is the shift from buses to networks, to interconnect either computers
or CPUs inside a chip. This new paradigm changes the way to control
the communication time. It requires a fine understanding of the NoC
behaviour, and its interactions with other chip components and
executed code.
Since aircrafts must, in general, pass a certification process, the
evaluation of network traversal time is commonly done using formal
methods. But some experimentation and measurements also give
complementary expertise. The knowledge gained from these studies can
be used to define new communication mechanisms and architectures, as
well as design rules, for embedded distributed systems
The research activity will consist of:
- the evaluation of the worst case communication performance (for NoCs
and embedded networks) ;
- design of mechanisms and protocols ensuring the applications
requirements (response time, safety...) ;
- implementation or prototyping, either on real systems or by
simulation.
----------------------------------
Required skills and qualifications
----------------------------------
PhD in computer science, with some background in networking, and some
publications related to NoC. Appetite for experimentation. Aware of
aeronautical industrial requirements.
Competences in one or several of the following techniques is required:
- formal worst case communication evaluation methods (network
calculus, real-time calculus, event stream, trajectorial approaches,
etc.);
- multi- and many-core architectures, and especially NoCs;
- embedded networks;
- simulation framework for real-time systems;
- programming (C, C++, Java...) ;
- formal methods.
Applicants must have a good English level, French is not a
requirement as long as English is OK.
