Description
As a Media-IP SoC Performance Engineer, you will have responsibilities spanning all aspects of performance model development: planning model architecture, implementation, validation, performance studies, and RTL correlation.","responsibilities":"Develop custom tools and approaches for analyzing performance data from these complex architectures applying techniques from data science and machine learning (ML) to provide new insights into their behavior and propose innovative architectural changes to improve the system performance of these IPs.
Collaborate with system architecture and IP design teams to plan, implement, and validate a high-level performance model in C++. The performance model is minimal feature set to meet the model accuracy requirements yet modular and flexible enough to be adapted for new projects and architectural exploration.
Develop, analyze and present results of performance studies for different architectural and micro-architectural proposals from within the team as well as other architecture and design teams.
Develop custom tools for analyzing simulation results of these complex architectures to provide new insights into their behavior and propose innovative architectural changes to improve the performance.
Present performance study results to design teams and other architecture teams.
Validate the performance model against the specification and correlating the model with RTL.
