Job Overview:
The Architecture and Technology Group (ATG) at ARM develops technologies and products for ARM’s future architecture roadmap. As part of the evolution of new architecture specifications, modeling and performance analysis is an integral and essential element that enables evaluation of the key architecture features in terms of performance and functionality. This team works alongside the leading architects in their field to develop new models and design performance studies to evaluate and craft new architecture features.
Ensuring generational performance gains requires the understanding of not only the core, microarchitecture, and system-level details but also what runs on them. We are seeking a highly motivated and skilled engineer to help enable and drive analysis, characterization and gain deep understanding of sophisticated workloads. This role requires the individual to work with engineers across the globe ranging from hardware architects to software and toolchain experts. This is a highly versatile and visible role that would help shape the next generation CPU microarchitecture through workload performance analysis.
Do you want to shape the future of the Arm compute technologies that will enable the next revolution in computing? We have an excellent opportunity for a motivated individual to work on crafting our next-generation Arm technologies in the ATG group.
Responsibilities:
- Work on analysis of CPU & System benchmarks, dealing with SPEC CPU, Android benchmarks, Browser workloads, AI/ML workloads and other relevant high-performance applications contributing towards performance analysis of cutting edge and future ARM ISA
- Perform detailed workload characterization to study application characteristics, performance bottlenecks and propose architectural solutions, using ARM internal and open-source profiling tools.
- Collaborate with ARM architects who define future ISA, and IP teams, to define the workload characterization & expand scope of applications & workloads
- Understand workload build & sampling tools to help providing right workload framework for performance analysis like simpoints, compilation options with GCC/LLVM etc.
- Create profiling and visualization frameworks to analyse with right level of abstraction. Contribute to automation for streamlining production processes
- Stay up to date on the latest advancements in application development, workload characterization, and performance analysis.
Required Skills and Experience :
- 5+ years in the semiconductor industry working on some aspect of CPU architecture performance modelling or analysis or verification.
- A background in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or Computer Science with a good foundation in computer architecture, and microarchitecture.
- Understanding of general-purpose CPU architecture, CPU microarchitecture, including knowledge of areas such as processor pipelines, caches, and memory hierarchy.
- Proficient in C/C++ for programming for large-scale software development, familiarity with and Python scripting language skills.
- Excellent communication, and interpersonal skills with ability to convey effectively complicated solutions.
“Nice To Have” Skills and Experience :
- Experience with CPU performance modelling or performance analysis is plus
- Understanding of workloads used for performance optimization is a plus
- Understanding and experience of working with CPU performance modelling methodologies
- Ability to work in a fast-paced environment with changing priorities and requirements
- Experience with Unix, scripting, and source control systems (e.g., Git, Subversion).
In Return:
We promise you endless opportunities to experiment and go even further in hardware! From architecture definition to sophisticated core implementation to full custom physical IPs, here you'll have our backing to push limits in vital areas.
