System Performance Modelling

ploring & implementing innovative ways to improve next generation POWER processor/system performance across cache, memory subsystem, interconnects etc. You will be part of highly experienced and talented team of engineers doing processor/system performance modeling, hardware bringup, Pre-silicon verification & post-silicon validation and microarchitecture development and will work closely with Processor/System design architects.
"AAs a Hardware Performance Analyst your responsibilities would be to work on multiple HW performance projects

• Develop test and validation plan for hardware bringup, pre-silicon performance verification and post-silicon performance validation

• Develop kernels and methodologies to correlate software model with hardware performance.

• Interact and collaborate with hardware, software and firmware development teams during system bringup and ensure the system meets its performance objectives

• Root causing of fails in simulation for performance changes/difference between Hardware and simulator

• Build automation frameworks, test cases and result analysis scripts.

• Design and develop model to simulate sub-systems like cache, interconnect and memory protocols

• Working with Architects/Research teams for optimizing architecture and system design, improving performance of next generation POWER processor and system.

• Demonstrate leadership in characterizing benchmarks, workloads and use cases (application code), and proposing system design optimisations to improve system level performance.

• Independently own system unit and successfully drive performance missions."

Required Technical and Professional Expertise

• "Must have lead multiple HW projects

• Programming: C++, SystemC, Scripting (Python, Perl), Assembly

• Experience developing hardware models for the server sub-systems like cache, interconnect and memory units

• Experience doing Performance Analysis, Workload Characterization & Performance Optimization

• Experience in performing hardware performance validation and correlation

• Experience in server class system bringup and optimization

• Good understanding of Processor microarchitecture, System architecture, Memory & IO subsystem architecture

• Demonstrate leadership in characterizing benchmarks, workloads and use cases and proposing microarchitectural optimizations

• Understanding architecture and micro-architecture features of POWER processor core and system.

• Good communication & presentation skills and to work with geographically distributed collaborators

• Ability to learn new areas quickly"

Preferred Technical and Professional Expertise
