List of Selected Candidates
Preamble
In an effort to increase the awareness and interest on Computer Systems
Research among our undergrads, we are organizing a combined "Summer
School and Internship" program on "High Performance Computer Architecture"
for primarily for undergraduate students who are in the III year of
B.E./B.Tech students in the Computer Science discipline. The program is
jointly organized by a few faculty from different IITs and IISc working in
this area.
Program
The program will start with a summer school (1 - 2 week of lectures and
hands-on assignments) on Computer Architecture and High Performance
Computing followed by an summer internship for 5-6 weeks, where the
student will be exposed to some projects in high performance computing or
architecture. The internship will be with one one of the participating
faculty at IITs/IISc. The student will attend the summer school in the
same place where he will be doing the summer project. The lecture will be
webcast from the participating institutes.
Tentative topics (to be covered in the summer school):
Memory Hierarchy, ILP Processors, Multiprocessor/multi-cores,
Memory consistency and cache coherence; GPUs and Manycores;
CUDA (or OpenCL) programming.
Support
No support (travel or accommodation) will be provided for the
participants. The students have to make their own arrangement for
accommodation. The students are encouraged/required to bring their laptop
and use the same during the internship.
Who can Apply
Target audience for this program are B.E./B.Tech students from reputed
engineering colleges. The preference will be for III year students with CS
background. Students from IT/EE/ECE disciplines in III year, or II year CS
students will also be considered if they have sufficient background. Only
students who are interested in pursuing project work in High Performance
Computing and Architecture need apply.
How to Apply
The application is through a web-based form. Students are encouraged to
provide as much information as possible in the required fields to
facilitate their selection.
Schedule
Date of Release of this Announcement: March 28, 2016

Announcement of Selected Candidates : April 23, 2016
Summer School and Internship Program: May 16 -- July 16, 2016 (tentative)
Remarks
We plan to take around 20 students for this year. This is run
purely as a voluntary service from a few interested faculty.
Our decision in the selection of students and the mapping to
project mentors is final. Requests for change of project mentor
or institution will not be entertained.
