Weekly Hours: 40
Role Number:200516358
The Systems Performance Architecture team is responsible for modeling performance of Macs and iPads across a large suite of workloads prior to prototype builds, then ensuring those performance targets are met on the actual hardware through software optimizations, power tuning and bug fixes, as applicable. The team also provides various architecture support to the silicon engineering teams. The Systems Performance Architecture team is responsible for evaluating the performance and efficiency of hardware and system options for implementation across the product line of future designs being considered for the Mac and iPad. This includes evaluation of system and device level characteristics from low level device metrics (e.g. throughput, latency, caching/paging behaviors, power/efficiency, etc.) in the presence of operating systems, compiler, power management, and software interactions that ultimately determine the user's experience on a Mac. The Individual Architects will identify performance bottlenecks, inefficiencies, and architectural improvement areas in hardware and software, and work with internal teams and external vendors on addressing them.
