Fax: +1 (415) 857-8526 The Concurrent Systems Project of Hewlett-Packard Laboratories in Palo Alto, California, has openings to work on DataMesh -- a research project to develop large, fast, highly-functional storage servers. The DataMesh project is addressing the widening disparity between VLSI and physical storage device performance, and the need for large amounts of I/O traffic to support near-future workgroups. A DataMesh is a high-performance, extensible, fault-tolerant parallel storage surface built from a set of smart storage nodes and a fast, reliable interconnect. Each node has a single storage device (disk, page-addressable RAM, optical jukebox, etc) and a 20 MIPS CPU with 8-32 MB of RAM. We are putting together the first hardware prototypes this summer. We are looking for individuals capable of acting as the nucleus for a small research activity of their own within the DataMesh project. The rewards are commensurate: you'll work as a member of a research team with a very challenging goal. A PhD in Computer Science is required, as is a publication record in the area of systems research (although several outstanding publications in other areas of CS could be a substitute).
