The CPU Performance Modeling Engineer joins the CPU Architecture team to design high-performance, low-power CPUs focused on performance, energy efficiency, and scalability. In this role, you will contribute ideas for advanced features, conduct detailed modeling, and collaborate with RTL teams to productize designs while assessing implementation costs. You will analyze workloads to identify bottlenecks, perform self-guided simulation studies of design alternatives, and maintain sections of the architectural performance model. The work involves deep technical engagement with components like fetch, decode, branch prediction, renaming, execute units, SIMD, load/store, MMU, caches, and retire logic. Required skills include proficiency in C, C++, and scripting languages such as Perl or Python. You will utilize knowledge of common performance benchmarks and workloads to improve the simulation environment and solve complex micro-architecture problems within the CPU Performance Architecture group.
