You will design, implement, and refine performance models that accurately predict CPU microarchitecture behavior, maintaining in-house toolchains for cycle-accurate, trace-driven, or statistical simulations. Leveraging these models, you will assess the feasibility and cost-benefit trade-offs of new CPU features by conducting in-depth performance and power analyses. This includes developing new methodologies, automating workflows, and creating intuitive visualizations to reveal bottlenecks and guide optimizations. Working closely with architects, software engineers, and a global community of performance modeling experts, you will collaborate on design reviews, share best practices, and continuously improve our modeling strategies to inform next-generation CPU innovations.
Required:
Bachelor's (BS) or Master's (MS) degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or related fields, with coursework or relevant experience in Computer Architecture.
Prior hands-on experience in performance modeling and analysis of CPU microarchitecture.
Familiarity with cycle-accurate, cycle-approximate or functional simulators, microarchitecture pipelines, and common performance metrics.
Strong proficiency in C/C++ for large-scale software development, with working knowledge of Python for scripting and data analysis.
Excellent interpersonal skills, with a track record of working collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams.
Able to communica...
