About California State University, Northridge

Basic information and contact details for California State University, Northridge

Home to over 41,000 students, California State University-Northridge (CSUN) is the biggest institution in the 23-member California State University system, as well as being one of the largest single-campus universities in the United States.

The university was established in 1958 as San Fernando Valley State College, and a year later it became the first State College with its own computer. During CSUN’s first years there were several anti-war protests and race relations were strained as a result of the low minority representation at the university, which resulted in a drive to diversify the student population.

In 1972, the university adopted its current name.

One of the most significant events in the university’s history was the 6.7-magnitude Northridge earthquake in 1994, which caused more than $400 million in damage to the campus. Fortunately, no one was killed in the event, but a lot of the campus had to be rebuilt over the following years.

Today there are nine CSUN colleges, offering 68 baccalaureate degrees, 58 master’s degree courses and two doctorate degrees. All colleges are located on the university campus in Northridge, just a short drive from downtown Los Angeles. Notable points of interest on campus include the CSUN Botanic Garden, the Oviatt Library, which contained more than 1.4 million volumes, and the National Center on Deafness, which serves around 200 deaf CSUN students.

There are a vast number of notable CSUN graduates, some of whom have become household names across the world. Among them are actresses Helen Hunt, Eva Longoria, and Alyson Hannigan, former Egyptian president Mohamed Morsi, artist and civil rights activist Judy Baca, astronaut Scott Horowitz, 50-billion-dollar man Dan Pena, and Chairman of Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Alex Yemenidjian.

Junior Research Scientist in the Division of Science (Computer Science) – Dr. Riyadh Baghdadi

NEW YORK UNIVERSITY ABU DHABI

United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi


Description The Modern Compilers Lab in the Computer Science program at New York University Abu Dhabi, seeks to recruit a research assistant to work on the intersection of compilers and deep learning. Many companies, such as Google, Facebook, and Amazon are building new specialized programming frameworks. This is because these companies need to allow their users to write simple, high-level code and run it efficiently on different hardware architectures. For example, Google has built TensorFlow, a framework for deep learning allowing users to run deep learning on multiple hardware architectures without changing the code. Our research team at NYUAD (New York University Abu Dhabi) is developing a new programming framework called Tiramisu [1]. Unlike existing frameworks, Tiramisu can perform advanced code optimizations that are hard to apply otherwise. Because of this, Tiramisu can generate fast code that outperforms highly optimized code written by expert programmers and can target different hardware architectures (multicore, GPUs, FPGAs, and distributed machines). In order to have the best performance (fastest execution) for a given Tiramisu program, many code optimizations should be applied. Optimizations include vectorization (using hardware vector instructions), parallelization (running loop iterations in parallel), enhancing data locality by fusion, and blocking (i.e. accessing arrays in a way that improves temporal and spatial data locality). A large number of optimizations exist and choosing which optimization should be used and which should not is important for performance. In some situations, some optimizations are harmful to performance while they are beneficial in other situations. Currently, there is no way to help users choose which optimizations should be used. Expert programmers usually spend a lot of time trying different optimizations manually to find the best set of optimizations. The goal of this project is to add support for automatic code optimization in Tiramisu. In particular, we want to use machine learning/deep learning to achieve this. Currently, a basic automatic optimization module that relies on machine learning has been developed and we want to take that module to the next level. The final product of this project would be a compiler pass that allows Tiramisu to automatically choose which optimization should be used for a given unoptimized program. We want to produce a high-quality technique that can be used by the users of Tiramisu and especially by our partner companies and research labs. Candidates must hold a bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Computer Science, though a master’s degree is preferred. The ideal candidate will have Internship or experience in the areas of compilers and artificial intelligence. For consideration, applicants need to submit a cover letter, curriculum vitae, transcript, statement of research interests and two letters of reference, all in PDF format. If you have any questions, please email Prof. Riyadh Baghdadi at baghdadi@nyu.edu or mrasras@nyu.edu. The terms of employment are very competitive and include housing and educational subsidies for children. Applications will be accepted immediately and candidates will be considered until the position is filled.
