Graphics (GPU) Performance Modeling Engineer

Do you have an uncommon desire to seek out and solve exceedingly difficult challenges rather than the easy ones Do you believe that truly valuable and meaningful accomplishments are the result of pushing the limits of perseverance Do you believe that a world-class team with relentless drive can surpass even their own high expectations nnWe do! But we also realize this job isnt for everyone. What we do is not easy but you do not take the easy path. We are seeking a highly motivated innovative and confident individuals to join the GPU Performance Modeling Team; we are a group that is driving advanced exploration for next generation GPU architectures and this highly visible role you will be at the center of a chip design effort working with all disciplines with a critical impact on getting high performant products to millions of customers quickly.

As a Performance Modeling Engineer you will be part of a team that is defining and optimizing Apples GPU micro-architecture. With others you will seek out areas for improvement while collecting data and measurements that either confirm the idea or rule it out. You will collaborate with experienced designers in micro-architecture and RTL to assess the feasibility of ideas refine ideas and seed new ones. nThe role requires the analysis of interesting workloads across existing and new product categories to identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement. Youll be architecting new simulator features and brainstorming novel ideas to boost simulation performance. Youll collaborate with world-class GPU and SoC Architects to steer and improve the implementation of GPU simulators and performance models used for research performance analysis and microarchitecture tuning. We also cross-collaborate as a larger architecture and performance team to maintain and improve the simulation environment and look for ways to boost the productivity of the entire team .nnnIn this position you will be expected to:n- C performance modeling of proposed architectural solutions and features.n- Gathering analyzing and validating measured and simulated results to compare architectural design alternatives.n- Carefully analyze and present results to enable data specific architecture/design.n- Writing architectural specification documents in collaboration with engineers across different disciplines.n- Work with the multi-functional teams to develop architectural solutions.n- Improve Apples modeling platform by developing APIs tools and optimal standard examples that can be used throughout the company.
