THE ROLE:

AMD is seeking an experienced I/O Performance Architect to drive best-in-class I/O performance for AMD processors and accelerators, from pre-silicon IP subsystem and IP multi-subsystem architecture and design, through to post-silicon performance optimization.

The role involves determining performance targets for silicon design teams based on product and customer requirements, and informing design decisions impacting hardware and software using static and dynamic modeling, and performance analysis from simulation, emulation, and lab data.

THE PERSON:

As a member of the NBIO Performance Architecture team, the successful candidate would provide guidance and feedback to system architects and RTL designers, and work closely with performance modeling and performance verification teams, and collaborate with post-silicon performance validation and optimization teams. They would leverage existing designs and performance models to inform future architectural decisions, drive performance optimization initiatives across team boundaries, and communicate with senior technical leadership and at times, select, key customers.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Determine and articulate I/O performance goals, strategy, and methodology
• Specify and maintain per-project I/O performance bounding box, workloads, topology, and bandwidth, QoS, and latency targets
• Define and drive performance features into product plans and IP level silicon design
• Propose and oversee architectural case studies involving existing silicon, RTL and/or performance models
• Review Performance Verification test plans (IP, Multi-subsystem, and SoC, as applicable)
• Support performance debugging in simulation, emulation and post-silicon
• Investigate performance results from regressions and interpret findings for follow-up actions
• Analyze trace captures from post-silicon application workloads
• Interface with SoC and IP Architects, Performance Verification Leads, and in various Performance Working Groups
• Provide direction to performance model development
• Communicate openly and clearly in meetings, presentations, emails, and reports to engineering and engineering management

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• PC System Architecture and I/O Connectivity Protocols: PCI Express, CXL
• Data Center I/O Workloads, and understanding memory bandwidth and performance
• I/O Virtualization (x86, ARM), Shared Virtual Memory and MMU working knowledge
• Accelerators 

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:
