Description
In this research-centric role, you will be responsible for exploring and defining next-generation CPU architectures that seek to maintain performance and efficiency leadership. This role will challenge you to:- Discover insight into CPU performance bottlenecks and drive improvements to performance through architectural and microarchitectural enhancements- Set direction for next-generation high performance CPU’s in such areas as: branch prediction, instruction/data prefetching, memory subsystem, or other CPU areas- Build the right tools suited for performance analysis so that you can parse through the noise and focus on the real challenges- Apply AI/ML techniques as both a tool for exploration and for CPU algorithmic feature improvement- Conduct continuous research into one or more CPU areas, brainstorm ideas, and model ideas in a performance simulator to refine and prove their utility- Work cross-functionally with software and system partners
Minimum Qualifications
  • B.S. degree
  • Familiarity with CPU architecture or microarchitecture concepts
  • Research experience and knowledge of CPU microarchitecture or AI/ML literature
  • Programming experience in either Python or C/C++
Preferred Qualifications
  • Expertise in one or more disciplines within CPU architecture: branch prediction, instruction or data prefetching, value prediction, caching policies, etc.
  • Ability to identify performance bottlenecks in workloads in effort to craft ideas to solve them and ability to implement those ideas in a performance simulator
  • Experience applying traditional or state-of-the-art machine learning techniques to novel problems. Knowledge of model development and tuning a plus
