Energy-Aware Scheduling for Industrial Edge Cloud Infrastructure: A Research Opportunity

vor 4 Wochen


Aachen, Nordrhein-Westfalen, Deutschland Fraunhofer-Gesellschaft Vollzeit

At Fraunhofer IPT, we are working on making industrial production more digital, flexible, and sustainable. To achieve this, we need to effectively orchestrate the application on heterogeneous systems, which requires considering the energy footprint of applications.

The goal of this research project is to implement algorithms for the orchestrator scheduler that take into account the application requirements and heterogeneous energy consumption. This will enable us to reduce the overall energy footprint of industrial applications.

As a research assistant, you will be responsible for:

  • Researching various algorithms suitable for energy-aware scheduling
  • Developing a custom algorithm for energy-aware scheduling
  • Performing experiments and evaluating performance metrics for scheduling
  • Integrating APIs to receive node rankings for scheduling
  • Integrating the system with a custom orchestrator
  • Validating the system with the architecture

Requirements:

  • Studying electronics, computer science, information technology, or a comparable subject
  • Initial experience with application development (Python, C++)
  • Knowledge of Kubernetes and Docker is advantageous
  • A high degree of initiative and team spirit
  • Good language skills in German and/or English

We value diversity and welcome all applications. Fraunhofer plays a central role in the innovation process, helping shape society now and in the future.
