The Role

In this position, you will be a member of the System Power and Performance Optimization team. This team is responsible for efficiently enabling customer success by continuously improving performance, resolving performance challenges, and delivering optimized solutions.

You will be compiling benchmarks with multiple compilers (GCC, AOCC, ICC), running SPEC CPU and other compute intensive benchmarks on systems with CPUs from multiple processor vendors. You will collect benchmark results, data from CPU performance counters, and other related performance information. Your analysis of the collected information will identify bottlenecks, hot spots, and other performance limitations of the benchmark itself, SoC, and system.

We are looking for a candidate that is well versed in Linux, python, C, C++, Fortran, BASH, and git who can develop, compile, and execute benchmark packages. Experience setting up systems, loading OS, and compiling kernels is useful, while the experience of executing, analyzing, automating microbenchmarks, and debugging associated problems as they come along is vital.

Key Responsibilities

• Compile, execute, and analyze benchmarks
• Validate quality of deliverables by testing and verifying binaries
• Create efficiencies of the benchmark execution through automation and other means
• Develop scripts as needed to execute, automate, and analyze benchmark tests
• Evaluate performance by executing industry standard benchmarks
• Analyze and evaluate key technologies that drive performance
• Develop new tests or adapt workloads to test/stress architectural features for server processors
• Drive communication and awareness of competitive benchmark landscape
• Configure systems and execute benchmarks across various processor vendors
• Review and analyze results, comparing performance across vendor platforms
• Present to management and technical teams in-depth analysis of your finding and outline next steps.
• Participate in industry standards consortia
• Review publication submissions
• Analyze results
• Create reports
• Write and maintain benchmarks
• Defend AMD’s interests while ensuring fair benchmarks
• Provide customer support

Preferred Experience

• BS in EE/CS/other engineering discipline. MS preferred
• Minimum of 3 years’ experience
• Compiling and running server benchmarks such as SPEC CPU, SPECjbb, Linpack, Stream, LMBench, MLPerf, HPL, DGEMM, Phoronix Test Suite, etc.
• Very strong skills in Python, BASH, and git
• Good working knowledge of C, C++, and Fortran; Java a plus
• Linux operating system expertise. Windows experience a plus.
• Linux programming, Windows programming a plus
• Strong problem solving and critical thinking skills
