Supercomputer Programmer Needed for
Connectionist Modeling Project at CMU
Needed:
A programmer/system manager for a CONVEX mini-supercomputer devoted to
massively parallel simulation models of cognitive processes.
Job Description:
Employee will be expected to maintain a CONVEX C-1 vectorizing supercomputer
system running Berkeley 4.2 UNIX, and to develop applications software for
use on this computer. The applications to be run on this machine will be
computer simulations of connectionist information processing networks and
activation-based production systems applied to human information processing
and AI tasks such as language comprehension and perception, problem solving,
and knowledge acquisition. Approximately 25% of the time will be devoted to
system maintenance tasks (maintaining file system and network software and
tables, handling system upgrades, etc.). Another 25% time will be devoted
to the development of utilities for general use (e.g., Lisp callable vector
processing routines, libraries for general use) and serving as a consultant
to the user community. The remaining 50% time will be devoted to the
development of specific applications programs in Lisp and/or C, with some
core routines in assembly language.
Qualifications:
The more of the following the better: Experience maintaining a Unix system
and with the IP/TCP network protocol; demonstrated ability in assembly
programming; knowledge of Lisp and C; experience programming for vector
processing hardware; willingness to provide help to users; and some
familiarity with and interest in connectionist modeling of cognitive
processes.
Salary:
Competitive. Exact salary will depend on experience and qualifications.
