Details
Do you want to help drive the development of CPU architectures to fuel the explosive growth in artificial intelligence (AI) / deep learning (DL), high-performance computing (HPC), gaming, virtual reality, and autonomous vehicles? Come join the CPU performance architecture team as a Senior System Simulation Architect and help us push performance boundaries for NVIDIA’s line of CPU products!
Responsibilities
- Develop full-system functional models capable of running complex multi-threaded heterogeneous (CPU/GPU) workloads with special focus on the CPU subsystem.
- Integrate functional models from various frameworks with RTL simulators and emulators, hardware-in-the-loop, and detailed performance models.
- Bring up system and application software in simulation and emulation — including firmware, Linux, drivers, benchmarks, and CPU/GPU workloads such as deep-learning (DL) and high-performance computing (HPC) workloads.
- Port, extend, and develop system software (firmware, OS, and drivers) to meet workload simulation needs.
- Support CPU architects and performance engineers in their use of functional models, performance models, and emulation to drive next-generation CPU architectures.
Requirements
- BS or MS in Electrical Engineering (EE), Computer Engineering (CE), Computer Science (CS) or equivalent experience.
- 6 or more years of relevant experience.
- Excellent C/C++ and Python programming skills.
- Experience in development of functional simulators and/or low-level software (OS, firmware, drivers); preferably both.
- Excellent debugging skills for both system software/firmware and application software.
- Experience with the ARM ISA.
- Excellent communication and teamwork skills.
Ways to stand out
- Experience working with hardware emulators and/or FPGAs.
- Background in CPU workload analysis (SimPoint, etc.).
- Experience with Linux kernel bringup and debug.
- Familiarity with CUDA.
- Experience with CPU/GPU application development and optimization in PyTorch, TensorFlow, and similar frameworks.
