The CPU Performance Modeling Engineer (RISC-V) joins the CPU Performance Architecture group to design high performance, low power CPUs. This role involves contributing ideas for advanced CPU performance features, conducting detailed modeling, and collaborating with RTL teams to productize these designs. Day-to-day responsibilities include analyzing workloads to identify performance bottlenecks, performing self-guided simulation studies of design alternatives, and writing or maintaining sections of the CPU architectural performance model while improving the overall simulation environment. The role requires expertise in areas such as fetch, decode, branch prediction, renaming, execute units, SIMD, load/store, MMU, caches, and retire. Candidates must be proficient in C, C++, and scripting languages like Perl or Python. The work focuses on solving performance and energy efficiency challenges within the specific domain of CPU architecture and micro-architecture development.
