Development of a Parallelization Toolchain

Description:

We are seeking a motivated student research assistant for maintaining the code base of our parallelization toolchain named DiscoPoP (Discovery of Potential Parallelism). Our tool helps programmers to identify potential parallelization opportunities in their sequential code and suggests parallelization strategies. We plan to publish DiscoPoP under an open-source license. The task will involve the application of best software-engineering practices, including unit testing, continuous integration, etc.

Tasks:

• Refactor the code base to meet the required standards
• Document the code and prepare a user manual

• Deploy a continuous integration server
• Contribute to the code base

Requirements:

• Programming in C/C++ and Python
• Linux command-line skills
• High motivation and ability to work effectively with others
• Experience with software engineering and familiarity with parallel programming is a plus
