Cambridge, Cambridgeshire, United Kingdom University of Cambridge Full time
PhD Student in AI Hardware Simulation

Fixed-term: The funds for this post are available for 4 years.

The University of Cambridge is supporting an ambitious programme of work that aims to reduce the hardware costs associated with training AI models by more than 1000x.

Project Overview
  • Develop a scalable and modular simulation framework
  • Multiple levels of simulation focused at different system layers and levels of fidelity
  • Allow novel hardware ideas to be easily incorporated and evaluated

The work at Cambridge will focus on the simulation of the accelerator hardware. To guarantee simulation fidelity, we will perform cross-validation of our simulation with real FPGA implementations.

Research Opportunities
  • Design of simulation environments
  • Hardware for training Transformers
  • Techniques for rapid and intelligent design-space exploration and optimisation
  • Machine-learning based tools for the rapid and interactive interpretation and analysis of results
  • New methods to automatically generate and validate simulation models at different levels of fidelity
Candidates

We are looking for a highly motivated and intellectually curious individual capable of thinking and working independently.

  • First-class honours degree from a UK university, or an equivalent standard from an overseas university, in computer science or a related subject
  • Master's degree in a relevant subject is highly desirable
Research Group

PhD projects will be supervised by a team of experienced researchers at the University of Cambridge.

  • Prof. Robert Mullins (PI)
  • Prof. Timothy Jones
  • Dr Rika Antonova
  • Dr. Yiren Zhao
  • Prof. George Constantinides
  • Prof. Wayne Luk
  • Dr. Mai Luo
  • Prof. Michael O'Boyle
