RESEARCH TITLE LARGE SCALE DATA MANAGEMENT AND INTEGRATION
DESCRIPTION This is a three year “Marie Curie ETN Early Stage Researcher
position” on the following topic. The sheer quantum of data being
created and collected across jurisdictions requires a carefully planned
and proactive approach to data management. The need for fusion and
integration of multiple data sources characterized by fragmented data
ownership is driving innovative approaches to large scale distributed
data management and integration to avoid inconsistent and inaccurate
data. The aim is to investigate, design and implement a fully
decentralized solution to provide efficient management of dynamically
updated information and support for distributed queries. One or more
domain specific use cases shall be identified within the context of the
project, considering both the current and future needs of some of the
involved partners. These nicely fit into the research plan, owing to the
need of surveying the user’s requirements to begin with; simultaneously,
the uses cases can also be thought of as sources of advanced data
management challenges.
For admission to the selection is required the possession of all the
requirements provided by law for access to public employment, the
eligibility requirements provided by the Marie Sklodowska- Curie Action
(https://ec.europa.eu/research/participants/data/ref/h2020/wp/2018-2020/main…)
and the following requirements:
a) Master of Science degree in Computer Science or Computer Engineering
or equivalent qualification that formally allows access to a PhD program
in Italy;
b) an excellent academic career;
c) must not have carried out more than 4 years of research activity
after obtaining the degree mentioned in the previous point within the
expected starting date of the contract (indicatively fixed at 01.03.2022);
d) have a background relevant to the following areas but not limited to:
distributed computing, databases, distributed data management, security
and privacy; knowledge of C/C++ programming languages and time series
archiving/analysis is a plus;
e) must not have a Ph.D. as of the contract start date;
f) must not have resided or carried out the main activity of study/work
in Italy for more than 12 months during the 3 years preceding the date
of the beginning of the contract;
g) have an excellent knowledge of the English language, in any case
sufficient to ensure the performance of the activity envisaged by the
contract and daily interaction in the working environment;
h) must not have criminal convictions or have pending criminal
proceedings of particular gravity.
Lack of even one of the above requirements will result in exclusion from
the selection process at any time. Qualifications obtained abroad must
normally be previously recognized in Italy in accordance with current
legislation. The equivalence of qualifications obtained abroad that have
not already been recognized in Italy will be evaluated by the Selection
Committee solely for the purpose of admitting the candidate to this call
for selection. The qualifications must be possessed on the date of
expiry of the deadline established for the presentation of applications
for admission to this selection. The University of Salento guarantees
equality and equal opportunities between men and women for the

*The paper submission deadline for VHPC 2022 has been extended to April 26th (AoE). Please, register your abstract by
April 19th.*
The Workshop on Virtualization in High-Performance Cloud Computing (VHPC) <vhpc.org/> is an international forum
bringing together researchers and industrial practitioners facing the challenges posed by virtualization in HPC/Cloud
scenarios, in order to foster discussion, collaboration, mutual exchange of knowledge and experience, enabling research
to ultimately provide novel solutions for virtualized computing systems of tomorrow.
The 17th edition of VHPC will be held on June 2nd, jointly with the ISC High-Performance 2022 <https://www.isc-hpc.com/>
conference and exhibition in Hamburg (Germany), and will feature two excellent *industrial **_/keynote speakers/_*
* “rtla: finding the sources of OS noise on Linux”, Daniel Bristot De Oliveira, Senior Principal Software Engineer in
the real-time kernel team at Red Hat
* “DynamoDB: NoSQL database services for predictable HPC workloads”, Akshat Vig, Principal Software Engineer at Amazon
Web Services (AWS)
In addition to the general research topics mentioned below, VHPC'22 encourages particularly contributions on the
following _/focus topics/_:
* Container Platforms (Kubernetes, Docker, Singularity, Shifter, rkt, …) for Scientific Workflows
* Composable Lightweight Applications and Unikernel Frameworks
* Latency Control and Data/Container Placement in Heterogeneous HPC Virtualized Environments
* Energy-efficiency and Service Orchestration in Virtualized Cloud & HPC Infrastructures
*Workshop Overview*
Containers and virtualization technologies constitute key enabling factors for flexible resource management in modern
data centers, and particularly in cloud environments. Cloud providers need to manage complex and heterogeneous
infrastructures in a seamless fashion to support the highly dynamic and diverse workloads and applications customers
deploy. Similarly, HPC environments have been increasingly adopting techniques that enable flexible management of vast
computing and networking resources, close to marginal provisioning cost, which is unprecedented in the history of
scientific and commercial computing. More recently, Function as a Service (Faas) and Serverless computing, leveraging on
lightweight virtualizaton and containerization solutions, widens the spectrum of applications that can be deployed in a
cloud environment, especially in an HPC context. Here, HPC-provided services can become accessible to distributed
workloads outside of large cluster environments.
Various virtualization-containerization technologies contribute to the overall picture in different ways: machine
virtualization, with its capability to enable consolidation of multiple underutilized servers with heterogeneous
software and operating systems (OSes), and its capability to live-migrate a fully operating virtual machine (VM) with a
very short downtime, enables novel and dynamic ways to manage physical servers; OS-level virtualization (i.e.,
containerization), with its capability to isolate multiple user-space environments and to allow for their coexistence
within the same OS kernel, promises to provide many of the advantages of machine virtualization with bare-metal
responsiveness and performance; lastly, unikernels provide for many virtualization benefits with a minimized OS/library
surface. I/O Virtualization in turn allows physical network interfaces to take traffic from multiple VMs or containers;
network virtualization, with its capability to create logical network overlays that are independent of the underlying
physical topology is furthermore enabling virtualization of HPC infrastructures.
*Topics of Interest*
The VHPC program committee solicits original, high-quality submissions related to virtualization across the entire
software stack with a special focus on the intersection of HPC, containers-virtualization and cloud computing.
Each topic encompasses aspects related to design/architecture, management, performance management, modeling and
configuration/tooling:
Design / Architecture:
* Containers and OS-level virtualization (LXC, Docker, rkt, Singularity, Shifter)
* Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.)
* Hypervisor extensions to mitigate side-channel attacks ([micro-]architectural timing attacks, privilege escalation)
* VM & Container trust and security models
* Multi-environment coupling, system software supporting in-situ analysis with HPC simulation
* Cloud reliability, fault-tolerance and high-availability
* Energy-efficient and power-aware virtualization
* Containers inside VMs with hypervisor isolation
* Virtualization support for emerging memory technologies
* Lightweight/specialized operating systems in conjunction with virtual machines
* Hypervisor support for heterogeneous resources (GPUs, co-processors, FPGAs, etc.)

Researchers at the University of New Brunswick are recruiting programmers with experience in parallel programming in C using OpenMP 4.0 directives to complete an online study. The goal of the research is to study the mental representations formed by parallel programmers. Understanding these representations is important for developing programming languages and tools that enhance and assist programmers in the comprehension process and other tasks.
The study takes approximately 60 minutes and needs to be completed on a desktop or laptop computer (not a handheld device). The study can be accessed through the following link:
