Tenstorrent is leading the industry on cutting-edge AI technology, revolutionizing performance expectations, ease of use, and cost efficiency. With AI redefining the computing paradigm, solutions must evolve to unify innovations in software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. Our diverse team of technologists have developed a high performance RISC-V CPU from scratch, and share a passion for AI and a deep desire to build the best AI platform possible.
As a CPU performance verification engineer at Tenstorrent, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the performance of our CPUs through creation of performance stimulus and debug of custom and industry standard workloads. You will work closely with design and architecture teams to validate the performance of our advanced CPU designs.
Responsibilities:
- Develop test plans and stimulus for performance verification
- Perform simulations using standard tools and emulation
- Bring up of industry standard and open-source performance workloads
- Debug sources of miscorrelation between RTL design and performance model
- Identify bottlenecks and work with team members to make fixes in performance model and/or RTL
- Work with design, test and post silicon validation teams to ensure high quality delivery of the entire CPU core
- Creation, enhancement and maintenance of performance tracking infrastructure, reports and debug tools
Experience and qualifications:
- BS/MS/PhD in EE/ECE/CE/CS
- Strong background and experience with high performance OOO CPU microarchitecture
- Experience and understanding of one or more ISAs - x86, ARM or RISCV
- Experience debugging RTL and DV in a simulation environment, proficient at waveform and log file based debug
- Experienced with assembly, C/C++ and stimulus generation targeting both ISA and micro-architectural scenarios
- Hands-on with scripting (Python, PERL)
- Experience with hardware description languages (Verilog, VHDL) and simulators (VCS, NC, Verilator)
- Strong problem solving and debug skills across various levels of design hierarchies
