Pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in EE, ECE, CE, or CS with strong academic performance.
Experienced with assembly, C/C++, and scripting in Python or Perl.
Familiar with CPU architecture and performance concepts, including pipelines, memory systems, and branch prediction.
Comfortable working through complex debug problems in a methodical, detail-oriented way.
What We Need
Interns who can create performance test plans and write stimulus to stress real CPU scenarios.
Engineers who can run simulations and emulations to validate performance metrics.
Contributors who can bring up and debug workloads ranging from open-source benchmarks to industry-standard suites.
Teammates who can investigate mismatches between RTL and performance models and help root-cause bottlenecks.
What You Will Learn
How CPU performance is measured, validated, and optimized before silicon.
How performance models, RTL implementations, and debug tools come together in a real chip development workflow.
Techniques for balancing tradeoffs in microarchitecture to hit performance targets.
What it takes to collaborate across architecture, design, and post-silicon teams in a high-performance CPU project.
