Application form for Project Group "Bioinformatics Custom Computers"
====================================================================

In order to make a decision on the admission to the project group, we kindly ask you to fill out the following questionnaire on your previous knowledge and motivation. We are well aware of the fact that most of you will not have previous knowledge in all areas. This is perfectly fine, as you will learn what is needed during the course of the project group. Using this questionnaire we want to make sure that we can start with a team that has complementary expertise to cover all relevant areas of the project.

1. What is the title of your Bachelor's thesis and who was your advisor?

2. What lectures have you completed in the area of ESS (embedded systems and system software) at UPB?

3. What seminars have you attended?

4. What programming skills do you have (1 = experienced, 2 = basic knowledge, 3 = no )

[ ] Java
[ ] C
[ ] C++
[ ] Hardware description languages (if 1 or 2, which? E.g., VHDL, Verilog, ...)
[ ] Parallel programming (if 1 or 2, what concepts/libraries, e.g. MPI, OpenMP, pthreads, ... ?)
[ ] Prior knowledge of bioinformatic algorithms (if 1 or 2, in what context?)


5. If admitted to the project group, which area would be most interesting for you (pick one only)

[ ] Bioinformatics algorithms 
[ ] Hardware accelerator design 
[ ] Validation and testing 

6. Do you have any practical experience with custom computing FPGA/VLSI design ? If so, please describe.

7. Please summarize your motivation for joining this project group in about 200 words.

Wer dabei sein will, schreibt möglicherweise bei 4. überall 1 rein => nur ein Kreuz zulassen?
Und vielleicht noch nach Vorkenntnissen fragen:

Skills (1 = experienced, 2 = basic knowledge, 3 = no )
Java Programming
C Programming
HDL (and if 1 or 2, which? Eg VHDL, Verilog, ...)
Parallel Programming (and if 1 or 2, which concept. E.g., MPI, Open-MP, Threads, ...)
Prior knowledge of bioinformatic algorithms (and if 1 or 2, in which context?)
