PhD Position in optical coatings (MSCA-DN TRADES)
- Marseille, France
- Physics
Optical interference filters offer a very broad range of optical functions for the control of the spectral properties of light. With the last 15-year improvement of both the design techniques and the manufacturing systems, the complexity of filters has dramatically increased. In particular, the combination of stable deposition processes and in-situ optical monitoring has allowed fabricating high performances filters that can be composed with several hundreds of layers. The filters structures are then no longer periodic and can exhibit a very broad range of thicknesses ranging from a few nanome
PhD Position F/M Predictable cache memories for Real-Time Embedded Multicore Systems
- LE CHESNAY CEDEX, France
- Computer science
The PhD student will work in the context of the ANR PRCI CoDaLi project, with Inria Rennes and the RPTU ( https://rptu.de/ ). The general objective of the CoCoDaLi project is to design and implement offline and runtime techniques that allow precise control cache contents in multi-core architectures for embedded real-time systems. The main idea is to take advantage of the content lifespan of cache blocks, in order to: • prevent the hardware replacement algorithm from removing useful cache blocks; • reduce the number of cache errors by placing the application memory in the appropriate cache line
