Biography

Andy Pimentel leads the Parallel Computing Systems (PCS) group within the Systems and Networking Lab at the Informatics Institute of the University of Amsterdam. The PCS group performs research on the design, programming and run-time management of multi-core and multi-processor computer systems. The modeling, analysis and optimization of the extra-functional aspects of these systems, such as performance, power/energy consumption but also the degree of productivity to design and program these systems, play a pivotal role in our work.

• I have an opening for a joint PhD student (together with Leiden University) in the area of Embedded Systems Design for Distributed Deep Learning!

• My EU Horizon2020 project ADMORPH (“Towards Adaptively Morphing Embedded Systems”) got granted! Soon several PhD and PostDoc positions will be opened.
