Candidates seeking the most sophisticated and exciting challenges in the computing industry are encouraged to apply. We are passionate about performance innovation. Think you can help us develop simulators to explore CPU microarchitecture advancements and project performance of complex server workloads? Check out our opportunity. We have a competitive benefits package and an award-winning culture. Join us!

THE PERSON:

An outstanding technical contributor and a passionate and dedicated Server Systems Performance Architect who can help us develop next-generation server simulators and use them to analyze complex workloads. A staff-level or aspiring member of technical staff can quickly determine, using analytical, simulation models, and other performance analysis tools, how the next-generation server platforms and high-performance CPU SoCs should be engineered to accelerate the adoption of our EPYC processors across cloud, enterprise, and HPC customers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Impact microarchitecture exploration, performance modeling, and analysis for SoC designs that include next-generation CPU cores, on-chip and off-chip interconnects, memory controllers, and quality-of-service.
• Advance performance simulation methodologies for next-generation server CPU exploration and projection of complex server workloads
• Innovate, model, and analyze new cross-IP performance enhancement features
• Communicate, propose, and implement solutions to processor and system performance issues using an in-depth design architecture and micro-architecture understanding.
• Collaborate in micro-benchmarking, workload characterization, competitive analysis, bottleneck identification, and optimization.
• Develop tools and methodologies for performance analysis of server and deep learning workloads.
• Work well with multiple teams across multiple sites.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• Experience with multi-core systems and multi-thread interactions
• Experience with CPU and GPU architecture and SoC microarchitecture, including on-chip interconnects, memory, and IO subsystems
• Experience with the development and usage of CPU performance models
• Experience with server workload performance analysis
• Strong Background in Deep Learning Workloads
• Strong programming skills, including experience with C++ and Python (or similar)

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a closely related field
• Master's or Ph.D. with an emphasis on Computer Architecture and Performance Analysis of Deep Learning and Server Workloads preferred
