Senior Software Architect - Deep Learning And HPC Communications

Details

NVIDIA is leading groundbreaking developments in Artificial Intelligence, High Performance Computing and Visualization. The GPU — our invention — serves as the visual cortex of modern computers and is at the heart of our products and services. Our work opens up new universes to explore, enables groundbreaking creativity and discovery, and powers inventions that were once considered science fiction, including artificial intelligence to autonomous cars.

Come work for the team that brought to you NCCL, NVSHMEM & GPUDirect. Our GPU communication libraries are crucial for scaling Deep Learning and HPC applications. We're seeking a Senior Software Architect to help co-design next-gen data center platforms and scalable communications software. DL and HPC applications have huge compute demands and already run at scales of up to tens of thousands of GPUs. GPUs are connected with high-speed interconnects (e.g. NVLink, PCIe) within a node and with high-speed networking (e.g. InfiniBand, Ethernet) across nodes. Efficient and fast communication between GPUs directly impacts end-to-end application performance. This impact continues to grow with the increasing scale of next generation systems.

Responsibilities

• Investigate opportunities to improve communication performance by identifying bottlenecks in today's systems.
• Design and implement new communication technologies to accelerate AI and HPC workloads.
• Explore innovative solutions in hardware and software for next generation platforms as part of co-design efforts involving GPU, networking, and software architects.
• Build proofs-of-concept, conduct experiments, and perform quantitative modeling to evaluate and drive new innovations.
• Use simulation to explore performance of large GPU clusters (scales of hundreds to hundreds of thousands of GPUs).

Requirements

• M.S./Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of relevant experience.
• Excellent C/C++ programming and debugging skills.
• Experience with parallel programming models (MPI, SHMEM) and at least one communication runtime (MPI, NCCL, NVSHMEM, OpenSHMEM, UCX, UCC).
• Deep understanding of operating systems, computer and system architecture.
• Solid fundamentals of network architecture, topology, algorithms, and communication scaling relevant to AI and HPC workloads.
• Strong experience with Linux.
• Ability and flexibility to work and communicate effectively in a multi-national, multi-time-zone corporate environment.

Ways to stand out from the crowd

• Expertise in related technology and passion for what you do.
• Experience with CUDA programming and NVIDIA GPUs.
• Knowledge of high-performance networks like InfiniBand, RoCE, NVLink, etc.
• Experience with Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch and TensorFlow.
• Knowledge of deep learning parallelisms and mapping to the communication subsystem.
• Experience with HPC applications.
• Strong collaborative and interpersonal skills and a proven track record of effectively guiding and influencing within a dynamic and multi-functional environment.
