Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd., Austin, Texas, us, 78716
Position Summary
Samsung, a world leader in advanced semiconductor technology, is founded on a simple philosophy - the endless pursuit of excellence will create a better world for all. At Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL), we are building a center of excellence for Intellectual Property (IP) that is applied to high-performance computing devices (mobile, automotive, and other custom market segments) consumed by millions of people around the world. Come build with us!
Role and Responsibilities
As a GPU Memory Systems Performance Architect, you will work as part of the GPU Architecture team where you will drive the modeling and analysis of memory-system features for a highly efficient mobile GPU. You have a curious mindset that thrives on navigating the unknown through innovation and continuous learning. You will contribute towards current and future plans strategy.
We believe in connecting your area of expertise with the right level and functional discipline that can empower you to grow. You will have the unique opportunity to explore and contribute to the graphics pipeline, while broadening your knowledge in different aspects of GPU development.
You work closely with the architecture, SW, and design teams to understand the architecture and micro-architecture of the GPU memory system including cache hierarchy, bus unit, interfaces with the GPU core and rest of the SoC.You develop complex GPU performance models to help define micro-architectural features and implementation optimizations of next-generation GPUs, in areas of memory system.You develop tools and methodology to correlate and validate performance models, triage and fix performance issues, and identify bottlenecks and propose solutions to improve GPU performance.You drive high-level performance analysis on complex workloads, with the goal to optimize the GPU with rest of the Memory System IP (Interconnect, Last-level Cache, Memory Controller).Skills and Qualifications
Minimum requirements
10+ years of experience with a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Science/Engineering, or 8+ years of experience with a Master's Degree, or 6+ years of experience with a PhD5+ years of experience in architectural modeling and performance analysis, either with analytical models or cycle-accurate simulatorsExperience with CPU, GPU, or Memory systems microarchitectureGood programming and/or scripting skills (Python is a plus)Good understanding of power/performance trade-offsGood understanding of VLSI concepts, HW designGood written and verbal communication skillsPreferred Qualifications
Performance modeling or workload analysis experience, in areas of memory subsystemsKnowledge of Core Pipelines (CPU, GPU or Accelerators)Directly related experience with correlation of RTL with performance modelExperience in integrating internal/external IP models on a full system-level framework.
Our Team
We're growing a team with talented individuals and diverse skillsets to build a technology roadmap and deliver market-leading GPU product. Our Xclipse GPU is the first mobile GPU with ray tracing technology that enables console-level graphic for Samsung Galaxy smartphones.
Being part of a unique growing team at a well-established global company means you have limitless room to explore, innovate, and grow by wearing different hats. Our GPU Architect team delivers whole system architecture-level design for Samsung's current and next-generation mobile GPU. Depending on the functional discipline, they're responsible for anywhere from early-stage architectural exploration, research work focusing on graphic and machine learning, defining new features, modeling, to diving into microarchitecture design and programming work.
