Computer Science Graduation Internship: Timing Performance Profile for Complex Algorithmic Model

<h2><span><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Introduction</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></span></h2><p>Are you a master student in Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field looking for a graduation internship? Do you have a good understanding of C++ and multi-core processing? Then this internship might be interesting for you!</p><p></p><h2><span><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Background information</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></span></h2><p>Our department created (and maintains/improves) one of the many complex algorithmic models required to run the ASML (EUV) machines. Our model performs a set of heavy computational operations in real-time on a tight timing budget.<br/>In order to keep improving the model, and to add more functionality (and therefore complexity), we need to understand the characteristics of the timing performance.</p><p></p><h2><span><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Your assignment</b></b> </b></b></b></b></b></b></b></span></h2><p>As an end-result we would like to have an overview of the timing performance of the model in its current state, complemented with insights on impacts of optimization techniques (think of AVX, core pinning, multi-threading, using MKL/BLAS/etc. different algorithmic implementations, HW acceleration, etc.). Next to this we would like to also know the impact of the upcoming features we will implement in the model.</p><p><span>Lastly, we would like to have a set of <span>guidelines/rules-of-thumb</span> to follow in the model to maintain/gain optimal timing performance (without disregarding software design/architecture best-practices).</span></p><p><span>This will be achieved by profiling the model, running experiments, and finally analyzing the results.</span></p><p></p><h2><span><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b><b>Your Profile</b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></b></span></h2><p>To be a perfect match for this internship, you:</p><ul><li><p>Are a master student in Computer Science, Embedded Systems, Software Engineering, Computer Engineering or a related field.</p></li><li><p>Have a good understanding of C++ and knowledge of profiling (e.g. Intel VTune).</p></li><li><p>Have knowledge of multi-core processing and vector instructions (e.g. Intel AVX).</p></li><li><p>Are a great planner and organizer with good presenting skills. </p></li><li><p><span>Have strong communication skills and are fluent in English both verbally and in writing. </span></p></li></ul><p></p><p>​This is a master graduation internship with a duration of a 6 to 9 months, for 4-5 days a week, starting as soon as possible.</p><p></p><p>Please note that we can only consider students who are enrolled at an educational institution for the entire duration of the internship.</p><p></p><h2>Leading with purpose</h2><p>At ASML, we’ve been making giant leaps in microchip manufacturing technology since 1984, with more than 42.000 employees and over 60 locations globally. It’s a common misconception that we make microchips, but we actually design and manufacture the lithography machines that produce microchips.</p><p>We're the world’s leading supplier for the semiconductor industry and we take this responsibility very seriously. We strive to be a force for good in the world. Whether enabling energy transition, AI or helping make healthcare more accessible, the work we do at ASML helps unlock the potential of people and society.</p><p></p><h2>Learning and growing</h2><p>Working at ASML is a journey; an opportunity to never stop learning and growing and we see it as our responsibility</p><p>to help you unlock your potential. We offer training and development opportunities, including educational</p><p>assistance. Here at ASML, you will find an environment where you can take up multiple growth opportunities, master your competencies and make your mark in a variety of ways.</p><p></p><h2>Belong at ASML</h2><p>We believe you’ll do your best work when you’re supported by an inclusive environment where you can bring your full self to work. At ASML, you'll feel welcome, recognized and supported by a company that helps you thrive. We’re a highly diverse group of people. No matter who you are in our company, you can have a real influence. You’ll be empowered by flexible working and well-being programs, as well as participate in employee networks such as: ‘Women’, ‘Sports’, ‘Green’, ’Expats’, and more!</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><p>This position requires access to controlled technology, as defined in the Export Administration Regulations (15 C.F.R. § 730, et seq.). Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to access such controlled technology prior to beginning work. Business demands may require ASML to proceed with candidates who are immediately eligible to access controlled technology.</p><p></p><h2><b>Diversity and inclusion</b></h2><p>ASML is an Equal Opportunity Employer that values and respects the importance of a diverse and inclusive workforce.
