Opportunities in Parallel Processing
with
Encore Computer
The Mach Operating System group within Encore is currently
involved with a number of projects, including:
* Porting Mach to the Gigamax, a 1,000MIPS symmetric shared-memory
multi-processor.
* Porting Mach to high-performance RISC architectures.
* Providing support to OSF for parallelization of the OSF/1
operating system.
* Additional parallelization of the Mach kernel, utilities
and libraries.
* Providing real-time capability.
* Enhancing performance and reliability.
The Mach Operating System group is part of an advanced R&D
organization within Encore Computer. While the company ships and
supports Mach as a commercial product, the group is also responsible
for OS research. Several DARPA contracts are currently in place which
fund parallel OS research on Mach.
Encore Computer has several openings available in our Mach
Operating System group. These include:
Kernel Developers: Several positions are available for individuals
with significant operating system internals experience. These individuals
will help to parallelize portions of the Mach kernel, NFS and 4.4BSD
filesystem. Our challenge is to produce a reliable, high-performance
operating system, with many new and "state-of-the-art" features that is
portable to multiple machine architectures. Experience with UNIX(tm)
internals required; experience with parallel and distributed operating
systems, real-time systems, System V streams, NFS and Mach are
desireable.
"Toolsmith": This individual will be responsible for enhancing
existing UNIX utilities and libraries through parallelization, development
of new utilities for in-house performance evaluation, and general
maintenance of the utilities and libraries. Experience programming under
UNIX in C is required.
Positions are also available within our System V development group.
