The Volcic laboratory in the Division of Science, New York University Abu Dhabi, is inviting applications for a fully funded post-doctoral associate position to work on vision, haptics, multisensory perception and/or sensorimotor integration. The initial appointment is for two years, with the possibility of renewal. The position is available immediately.

The post-doctoral associate will be part of the research group headed by Dr. Robert Volcic, at NYU Abu Dhabi. The focus of the group is on visual, haptic and multisensory perception to understand the role our senses play in perceiving spatial properties of objects and their arrangement in the world, how these senses are used to guide our movements, and, how active motor behavior, in turn, affects sensory processing. The methods used include behavioral measures, psychophysics and movement tracking. The lab is equipped with state-of-the-art systems for motion capture, eye tracking and 3D vision. A list of representative publications can be found at: http://volcic.github.io/publications/

Review of applications will begin immediately and will continue until the position is filled. The start date is flexible. The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. To be considered, all applicants must submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae with full publication list, the relevant degree, a statement of research interests, and contact information of two referees, all in PDF format. Interested applicants are encouraged to informally contact Robert Volcic (robert.volcic@nyu.edu) with any questions about the position, university, or area.

The NYUAD campus is located on Saadiyat Island (Abu Dhabi’s cultural hub), minutes away from the white sand beaches as well as the world class entertainment, big city and nature activities that have made the area one of the top ten tourist destinations in the world.

Description

Many companies, such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon are building new specialized programming frameworks.  This is because these companies need to allow their users to write simple, high-level code and run it efficiently on different hardware architectures. For example, Google has built TensorFlow, a framework for deep learning allowing users to run deep learning on multiple hardware architectures without changing the code.

Our research team at NYUAD (New York University Abu Dhabi) in collaboration with MIT (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, USA) is developing a new programming framework called Tiramisu  [1]. Unlike existing frameworks, Tiramisu can perform advanced code optimizations that are hard to apply otherwise. Because of this, Tiramisu can generate fast code that outperforms highly optimized code written by expert programmers and can target different hardware architectures (multicore, GPUs, FPGAs, and  distributed machines).

In order to have the best performance (fastest execution) for a given Tiramisu program, many code optimizations should be applied. Optimizations include vectorization (using hardware vector instructions), parallelization (running loop iterations in parallel), enhancing data locality by fusion, and blocking (i.e. accessing arrays in a way that improves temporal and spatial data locality). A large number of optimizations exist and choosing which optimization should be used and which should not is important for performance.  In some situations, some optimizations are harmful to performance while they are beneficial in other situations. Currently, there is no way to help users choose which optimizations should be used.  Expert Google programmers usually spend a lot of time trying different optimizations manually to find the best set of optimizations.

The goal of this project is to add support for automatic code optimization in Tiramisu.  In particular, we want to use machine learning/deep learning to achieve this. Currently, a basic automatic optimization module that relies on machine learning has been developed and we want to take that module to the next level. The final product of this project would be a compiler pass that allows Tiramisu to automatically choose which optimization should be used for a given unoptimized program. We want to produce a high-quality technique that can be used by the users of Tiramisu and especially by our partner companies and research labs.

Benefits

The selected candidate will work on cutting edge projects with a very high practical impact on many areas. They will receive a competitive monthly salary. Travel and VISA expenses will also be paid by NYUAD. They will participate in writing papers and submit them to the best conferences in the field (NIPS, PLDI, ISCA, …) and will travel to participate in international conferences abroad.

Application

To apply, please send your cover letter, CV and transcripts (with ranking) for the last two years, contact references and indicate when you’ll be able to start. Being able to start as early as possible is a plus. Please also indicate any relevant technical skills that you have. If you have any questions, please send an email to Dr. Mohamed Riyadh Baghdadi at  rb4792@nyu.edu
