The Experimental Systems Project (ES-Kit) at the Microelectronics and
Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) in Austin, Texas, is seeking
graduate students interested in a full-time internship with the
project during the spring and summer of 1989. The project offers a
number of interesting opportunities for work in state-of-the-art
hardware and software technologies; several graduate students have
based their continuing academic research on ES-Kit related
assignments.
The ES-Kit project is conducting DARPA-sponsored research to develop
and integrate enabling technologies for rapid prototyping of hardware
and software for experimental computer architectures. The project is
primarily interested in candidates to fill an intership in the areas
of SYSTEM SOFTWARE and/or COMPILER DEVELOPMENT. The ES-Kit system
software is being designed to provide a medium grained, object-
oriented application and experiment environment for heterogeneous,
multi-node architectures. The system and applications softwares are
written in C++ and compiled with the GNU C++ compiler, developed and
distributed by the Free Software Foundation. The compiler is a state
of the art optimizing, native code compiler and includes several
extensions to support transparent messaging for the ES-Kit programmer.
Interns work under the direction of a permanent project staff member
but are expected to be capable of highly productive, largely
independent work. The working environment is top-class, supported with
a large number of Sun3/50 and Sun3/60 workstations, and a 16-node
Ametek 2010. Custom ES-Kit hardware, based on the Motorola 88000 RISC
architecture will be available for integration during the spring of
1989.
The internship is a full-time position beginning as early as possible
in January, 1989 and continuing through late summer. In the past,
graduate interns have been responsible for their own residence,
transportation and medical insurance, however, the salary rate is more
than sufficient to meet these obligations. MCC also provides some
relocation assistance to and from Austin. Interested students must be
able to take an eight month leave from their universities, although
they may periodically return to take qualifying examinations, etc., at
their own expense. Candidates must be U.S. citizens or have a visa
status which will allow them to be directly hired by MCC (e.g., a
"practical training" period). MCC is an equal opportunity employer.
