HPC is a large, somewhat generic term. Do you have specific areas of interest within HPC?

How many months/years will you have to spend on the R&D part of your thesis work?

There are lots of potential topics of interest, from higher-level things like loop transformations, memory hierarchy modeling, etc. to lower-level issues involving code generation (i.e. vectorization), non-traditional architectures (GPUs, etc.), etc. If you can give us a little more context, and your level of familiarity with LLVM, it will be easier to suggest some projects.
