Hi all, Since February this year, Alex Best has been working for us in Kaiserslautern on a new superoptimiser for assembly language in MPIR. The superoptimiser is now working beautifully, but Alex has managed to get himself a PhD position and will be leaving us at the end of July this year.
That means we have 6 months of funding left to fund a good C programmer with a willingness to learn x86_64 assembly, starting in August this year. Candidates must be prepared to come to Kaiserslautern (we can help with finding accommodation) for the duration and must have at least a Masters in Mathematics, Computer Science or Computer Engineering. More details about the position can be found here: http://opendreamkit.org/2016/05/02/developer-position3-kaiserslautern/ The main deliverables left are: * use the superoptimiser to speed up assembly routines for modern x86_64 processors * parallelise the FFT for multiplying large integers in MPIR (it has been written with parallelism in mind) * (Optionally) help with an ongoing effort to implement the triple large prime variant of the quadratic sieve, for factoring large integers Please see the link above for details on how to apply, and feel free to forward this to anyone you think might be interested.
