New postdoc positions at INRIA SaclayOCaml performance, memory management and multicoreJob description:We are currently looking for two one-year postdocs at INRIA Saclay[0],to work on improving OCaml memory management, particularly in thecontext of multicore systems. The candidate would contribute either tothe implementation of the OCaml runtime, to benefit from multicoresystems, or to the implementation of compiler optimizations and toolsto improve the performance of theorem provers, as part of the BwareANR project.INRIA Saclay is one of the most recent units of Inria, the Frenchpublic institute of Computer Science. It is located close to Paris, onthe Campus of Saclay, colocated with the University of Paris 11 andseveral of the best engineer schools in France (Ecole Polytechnique,ENSTA, Supelec, etc.).The Bware ANR project:Bware is a project funded by the ANR (French Research Funding Agency),to improve "Atelier B" [1], an industrial tool to efficiently deploythe B method, developed by Clearsy. Bware will replace the currentsolver used in Atelier B by new provers developed at INRIA(Dedukti[2], Zenon[3], Why[4], Alt-Ergo[5]), most of them written inthe OCaml language. Part of the work will be to improve theperformances of these solvers, by implementing new compileroptimizations in OCaml and taking benefit of multicore systems. Bwareis a project gathering both academic partners (CEDRIC, INRIA, LRI) andindustrial partners (Clearsy, Mitsubishi MERCE, OCamlPro).Requirements:Candidates should have a Ph.D. in Computer Science, and a previousexperience of both functional programming and system/compilerdevelopment.Application details:To apply, or for more information, you can contact Fabrice Le Fessant(fabrice.le_fessant AT inria.fr).Applications should contain a detailedCV, with a particular focus on the experience, both theoretical andpractical, that would be useful in the context of this postdoc.[0] http://www.inria.fr/en/centre/saclay/ [1] http://www.atelierb.eu/en/ [2] http://www.lix.polytechnique.fr/dedukti/ [3] http://focal.inria.fr/zenon/ [4] http://why.lri.fr/ [5] http://alt-ergo.lri.fr/
