Über diese Senior System Simulation Architect Stelle bei NVIDIA
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!
What you’ll be doing:
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 (HW-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/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.
What we need to see:
BS/MS in EE, CE, or CS or equivalent experience
6 or more years of relevant experience
Excellent C/C++/Python programming skills
Experience in development of functional simulators and/or low-level software (OS, firmware, drivers); preferably both
Excellent debugging skills – of both system software/firmware and application software
Experience with the ARM ISA
Excellent communication and teamwork skills
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
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
