Our team combines the best of Google AI, Software, and Hardware to create radically helpful experiences. We research, design, and develop new technologies and hardware to make computing faster, seamless, and more powerful. We aim to make people’s lives better through technology.
Responsibilities
- Build processor performance analysis infrastructure, which includes preparing workloads, developing performance models, porting a design onto a hardware emulator, and conducting performance and workload analysis.
- Work with the RTL team to correlate the performance model with the RTL.
- Collaborate with key micro-architects to develop and assess microarchitecture ideas.
- Select appropriate industry standard processor benchmarks for goal setting. Define and produce custom in-house benchmark suites using first-party applications.
- Participate in PPA (Performance, Power, Area) tradeoff analysis for architecture and microarchitecture features. Communicate analysis results in both qualitative and quantitative fashion to support decisions.
