About the Job:
IBM Research has a long and distinguished history of invention and innovations in the science and engineering. In 2015 IBM Research and the UK Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) announced a major expansion as part of the STFC’s Hartree Centre at Daresbury. The central aim of this collaboration is to bring researchers from IBM together with STFC and UK Industry to accelerate adoption of new and existing research outcomes. IBM is building a new team, based in Daresbury, as part of this work. There are numerous opportunities within the IBM Research Team at Daresbury.
IBM Research are looking to recruit for the Graphics and Visualization project
IBM is working with Nvidia to port the OpenGL to the IBM Power server systems. The project is in phase I which includes the basic port of X-Windows, OpenGL development toolkit and kernel modules.
