• →Develops and drives end-to-end CPU architecture specifications for highly optimized, modular, and scalable CPU based on hardware features, requirements, and interoperability of hardware and software throughout the product life cycle.
• →Understands the CPU requirements and defines targets (performance, power, frequency, and area) and content (features) that meet the requirements.
• →Evaluates feasibility tradeoffs, explores, and defines new approaches and novel architectures for CPU.
• →Invents, conceptualizes, and specifies architectural and microarchitecture features to deliver optimized CPU requirements for multiple segments from high-performance computing to extreme low power products.
• →Develops, defines, and documents new instructions to support new use cases and to improve existing use cases and support the new instruction set architecture (ISA).
• →Models CPU performance and power, analyzes the bottlenecks of current CPUs on workloads that reflect CPU future usage.
• →Develops tests, test plans, and testing infrastructure for new architectures/features for CPU, performs functional modeling simulations, and conducts analysis of test results using advanced statistics and data predictions for benchmarking performance and determining areas for improvement.
• →Provides experimental/proof of concept changes for proposing design alternatives meeting performance, power, area, and timing constraints.
• →Reviews, challenges, and influences cross functional roadmaps and defines technology targets for future CPUs.
• →Collaborates with architects, design, verification, and validation engineers during the execution of the project.
• →Delivers definition of new microarchitecture and finds mitigations for issues that arise during feature implementation to improve the overall design of CPU and overcome bottlenecks and constraints.
