Offer Description

Would you like to participate in an innovative cardiac research project?

 

Join the Institute of Heart Rhythm Diseases (IHU Liryc), University of Bordeaux! Liryc is organized into clinical research teams that work closely with fundamental science teams. Its aim is to offer a unique medical research platform and a training centre for students and researchers from all over the world.

 

Within the Carmen team that is part of the Modelling Division, we design and analyze new numerical models to simulate the electrical and mechanical activity of the heart.

In close collaboration with Inria, and as part of the European SimCardioTest project, we are recruiting a Research Engineer in Scientific Computing.

 

Main activities :

Your mission will be to analyze and improve the efficiency of the Cardiac Electrophysiology Solver (CEPS ). It is a tool for numerical simulation of models in cardiac electrophysiology. It is central to the Carmen project team that uses it to develop numerical methods and physical models. CEPS is a parallel computing code (MPI) that solves partial derivative equations by finite element method and time schemes specific to the field of cardiac electrophysiology.

 

Not all CEPS defects have been identified. We have already listed:

-  PETSc library dependency as a critical point for CEPS API performance and flexibility

-  the partitioning of the meshes, carried out with SCOTCH must be audited

-  inputs and outputs

 

#Inventory and imrovment of the tool

• You perform a performance review of CEPS on an example of physical use
• You participate in thinking about improvement solutions

 

#Programming

• You analyze and profile the CEPS code
• Optimize code in C++
• You ensure the maintainability of the code (tests, documentation, etc.)
• Identify and integrate an alternative solver to PETSc
