Simula Research Laboratory AS

Simula is a publicly-owned ICT research lab. Our main objective is to reach new levels of understanding and to create vital knowledge about fundamental scientific challenges that are of genuine value to society.

We are now recruiting part-time interns for approximately 25 projects in the fields of ICT research, to work together with motivated international researchers.

Project: C/C++ programming

The goal of this project is to optimize the network communication exploiting the processing capability of the modern Network Interface Card (NIC). We need to write a C/C++ program (preferably C) running on the CPU of the NIC instead of the main host CPU to process the network traffic.
