Role OverviewSiFive is seeking an experienced leader to help research and develop next-generation high-performance processors. The performance architect will guide the performance team to work closely with the architect and the design team to research and develop the highest performance core architecture/micro-architecture.
What You Will Do
Work along with a team of performance engineers to research, model, and develop architecture/micro-architecture ideas to build state-of-the-art performance processors that reach our aggressive performance targets. Design and carry out experiments to research and develop architecture/micro-architecture features. Work with the design team to implement and deliver performance targets in RTL.
Why It Might Be a Fit
The ideal candidate will have hands-on expertise with either HW development (RTL/implementation flows, verification/validation, backend flows, FPGA flows); FPGA debug, including the use of Integrated Logic Analyzer for waveform capture and debug. Knowledge in analyzing performance bottlenecks in micro-architecture and software stack is a plus.
Requirements
- MS in Computer Science/Computer Architecture
- 3+ years of experience in high-performance processor development
- 3+ years involved in the engineering team to deliver HW or SW products
- Hands-on expertise with either HW development (RTL/implementation flows, verification/validation, backend flows, FPGA flows); FPGA debug, including the use of Integrated Logic Analyzer for waveform capture and debug
- Knowledge in analyzing performance bottlenecks in micro-architecture and software stack
- Good foundation in computer architecture of high-performance out-of-order CPU designs
- Good foundation in workload characterization to identify HW/SW performance bottlenecks
- Good foundation in workload reduction techniques for efficient performance simulation and projection
