Project:	Advanced On Board Processor Hardware Emulator for Veritas (JPL AO No. 16189)
Disciplines:	Computer Science, Electrical Engineering
Mentor:	Jeng Lee, (JPL), Jeng-Tao.Lee@jpl.nasa.gov, Phone: (818) 393-3586
Background:	In the upcoming decade, multiple space missions will be launched to explore Venus, our neighboring planet, with the goal of understanding its present-day activity and evolution. This internship opportunity is to support a project to develop tools and processes to make it easy for science users to run radar algorithms and workflows on a high performance computing environment at NASA. The intern will be working with a team at JPL that has built an automated framework to run workflows on a NASA cluster of servers.
Description:	An internship is available to work with the mentor and cross-functional team members to integrate the algorithms into hardware and software systems to enable automated execution of containerized science workflows on Jenkins. 1. Write the supporting software and embedded software in C/C++ and the test software in Python 2. Generate the complete and clear technical report to document the work
