System Performance Engineer

Responsibilities:

• Perform system architecture exploration using SystemC TLM performance models using representative traffic patterns.
• Perform processor and system performance analysis using standard benchmarks, such as SPEC, EEMBC, lmbench etc. by running workloads on functional/timing simulators and/or hardware
• Prior experience and expetrise in performance analysis of SoC interconnects such as NOCs, NICs and crossbars
• Expert level understanding of AMBA bus standards such as AHB, AXI, CHI
• Understand the composition of workloads and benchmarking methodology from perspective of reproducibility and representativeness
• Experience in debug of performance bottlenecks and explore software and hardware optimizations to improve performance
• Familiarity with use of functional/timing accurate simulators and hardware for benchmarking is a required
• Familiarity with benchmarks such as eembc, spec etc. in terms of download, building and running and analyzing the results of these benchmarks will be very useful
