About this position

The Department of Electronics, Information and Bioengineering at Politecnico di Milano is offering one research contract in the academic discipline of Telecommunications within the research program “End-host stacks for datacenter class applications”.

The project focuses on the design of new system architectures for accelerating the network stack of data-center applications. The successful candidate will work on the co-design of operating-system mechanisms, networking software, and programmable hardware accelerators to improve the performance and efficiency of high-throughput, data-intensive workloads.

Research activities will explore how network-processing functions can be split between the host and the NIC, with particular attention to programmable and hardware-accelerated NIC architectures. The project also investigates how applications can benefit from hardware acceleration while preserving flexibility and programmability.

A major part of the work is devoted to hardware-software interaction, including data movement, communication, synchronization, and dynamic allocation of processing between host and NIC. The call also highlights research on programmable network stacks for data-center applications and eBPF-based mechanisms for processing, acceleration, and offloading.

The position is hosted by the DEIB at Politecnico di Milano, in a research environment centered on systems, networking, and hardware/software co-design.
