Contract Duration:
6 months contract
Description
Enable vector database frameworks such as DiskANN, Milvus, and related retrieval/search pipelines on an FPGA-accelerated platform
Modify and optimize software stacks so that distance computation and related vector operations can be offloaded to FPGA-based storage or accelerator device
Design and integrate host-side software paths to issue custom or vendor-specific NVMe commands for computation offload
Develop and optimize I/O submission/completion paths using modern Linux interfaces such as io_uring
Analyze existing VectorDB execution flows and identify where offload can be inserted with minimal software disruption
Debug full-stack issues spanning application software, libraries, kernel/user-space I/O paths, NVMe protocol behavior, and FPGA device responses
Requirements
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field
