We are now looking for a Senior CPU Architect!

We are seeking senior CPU Architects to create next generation CPU cores in support of a diverse array of NVIDIA products. If you love improving CPU performance through innovative CPU microarchitectural ideas; modeling them to determine merit; and then seeing them through implementation and bring up; then you should talk to us.

What you'll be doing:

• Develop cycle-accurate architectural performance and power models for the CPU core of a complex high performance system-on-a-chip.

• Use models to analyze architectural tradeoffs related to CPU Performance and Power, identifying performance bottlenecks on deep learning (DL) workloads, high-performance computing (HPC) workloads, as well as industry standard benchmarks like SPECInt and SPECFp.

• Propose micro-architectural alternatives that fit within area, timing and power constraints for the design.

• Work with the performance verification team to validate the model, and to root cause disconnects between model projections and design (RTL).

  What we need to see:

• Master's degree with a focus on CPU microarchitecture, or equivalent experience.

• 6+ years of relevant experience.

• A deep understanding of the state of the art of CPU microarchitecture and architecture.

• A track record of CPU microarchitectural innovation with experience in one or more of the following broad areas.

• Front End CPU Uarch (Fetch, Decode, Branch Prediction).

• Midcore CPU uarch (Rename, Allocate, Scheduler, Integer/Vector Exec).

• Memory Subsystem CPU Uarch (MMU/TLB, Address Gen, Load/Store Units, L1, L2 caches, Prefetch).

• A history of generating innovative microarchitectural ideas to improve performance ; actively doing the performance modeling and debug to demonstrate the merit and limitations of these ideas; enabling the realization of the ideas with close engagement with design.verification/postSi bringup teams.

• Close collaboration with the lead microarchitect of the core to cooperatively solve issues and help realize the overall perf/area/power targets of the CPU core.

• A strong ability to communicate and advocate the merits and drawbacks of the microarchitectural ideas to fellow microarchitects, and implementation leads in a variety of mediums, both verbally and through presentations and documents.

• An enthusiasm, energy and drive in leading their part of the microarchitecture of the machine where they lead by doing.

Ways to stand out of the crowd:

• PhD in a relevant CPU microarchitecture area.

• At least 4 years of industry experience in a core CPU microarchitecture.

With competitive salaries and a generous benefits package, NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking and hardworking people in the world working for us.
