Linux Kernel Hacker

We are ZeroPoint Technologies, a high-tech start-up company located in Gothenburg, Sweden. We are now looking for a driven System softwaredeveloper to join our team.We are creating a novel technology that improves the memory performance without doing any changes in the memory itself. This is done by compressing efficiently all memory data.Data compression is not new, but our technology is something that does not exist out there!It is integrated in the latency-sensitive memory access path between the processor and the memory, thus it is ultra-fast: works in nanoseconds!! It is applicable to all processing systems that use memories: servers, smartphones, base-stations, smart-watches, PCs, etc.It is lossless, as data can be anything loaded in the memory when being processed: family images, emails, data generated by a computation fluid dynamics application running on an HPC server. It is cool, as compression is self-trained by the data. It is not just hardware or not just software. It’s both!The benefits of our technology are many-fold: increased memory capacity without increasing the memory area thus better performance; improved memory off-chip bandwidth allowing better scaling of processing elements; same performance at lower cost.We are computer architects, performance analysts, ASIC designers, Linux hackers, and business developers with PhD and more than 30 years of commercial experience. The technology itself is built on the top of 15 years of academic experience.Challenging problems is part of our daily work. Our solutions many and our ideas many more.
