SiPearl is the European fabless designer of sovereign secure high-performance energy-efficient CPUs for HPC, AI and data centres. These CPUs will help address strategic challenges in the fields of security, defence, medical research, energy, climate and engineering with a reduced environmental footprint.
In June 25, SiPearl completed the design of the most complex CPU ever designed in Europe, Rhea1. Featuring 80 Arm Neoverse V1 cores, with 61 billion transistors, it is currently in production at TSMC. Sipearl CPUs will equip the two first European exascale supercomputers belonging to EuroHPC JU: Rhea1 will be integrated into the JUPITER machine based in Germany and Rhea2 will be part of Alice Recoque in France.
Incubated within the European Processor Initiative (EPI) consortium and seed-funded by the European Union, SiPearl employs almost 200 people in :
France (Maisons-Laffitte, Grenoble, Massy, Sophia Antipolis),
Spain (Barcelona)
and Italy (Bologna)
Following a €130 million Series A, the company has launched its Series B round.
The SiPearl Validation Laboratory in Barcelona requires a management system comparable to those used in modern data centers. In line with current standardization and open-source practices, the selected solution is the OpenCHAMI project.
The objective of this internship is to deploy, integrate, and adapt the OpenCHAMI tools within the SiPearl MicroLab infrastructure. The intern will ensure that the platform operates correctly in the laboratory environment and will contribute improvements when required.
This project provides practical exposure to the architecture and management of High-Performance Computing (HPC) clusters and data centers, including infrastructure deployment, automation, and system management.
During this internship, you will:
Analyze the requirements of the SiPearl MicroLab infrastructure to determine system management needs.
Install and configure the OpenCHAMI tools step by step within the current laboratory environment.
Ensure compliance with IT security and cybersecurity policies.
Develop additional scripts or utilities required for integration and automation.
Implement missing features or improvements using Go, C, C++, and Bash.
Apply coding standards and software development best practices.
Produce technical documentation describing the installation and configuration processes.
Create demonstration materials such as tutorials, videos, and wiki guides to facilitate knowledge sharing.
Student in the final year of an engineering school or pursuing a Master's degree in electronics, computer engineering, or a related field
Good understanding of Linux Kernel internals
