<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">ECMWF’s High-Performance Computing Facility (HPCF) is a mission-critical central service provided by two Cray XC40 clusters installed in Reading. ECMWF has signed a four-year contract worth over 80 million euros with Atos for
the supply of the successor system. The new system is being installed in ECMWF’s new Bologna Data Centre and will deliver an increase in sustained performance of about a factor of five compared to ECMWF’s current system.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="BodyText-nospaceafter">The position is in the High-Performance Computing and Storage Section of ECMWF’s Computing Department. The successful candidate will lead a small team and will support research scientists and code developers in achieving the
most efficient use of ECMWF’s petascale high-performance computing systems. This will involve providing advice and assistance in writing, maintaining, debugging, profiling and optimising large and demanding scientific codes. The successful candidate will also
contribute to the long-term strategic direction of the Centre by bidding for and working with externally funded projects and programs and participating in the ECMWF Scalability Programme. The Scalability Programme aims at developing the next generation forecasting
system, investigating the performance of ECMWF’s main codes on different computer architectures, and benchmarking future systems.
