Performance Architect in ASIC Architecture

Cerebras has developed a radically new chip and system to dramatically accelerate deep learning applications. Our system runs training and inference workloads orders of magnitude faster than contemporary machines, fundamentally changing the way ML researchers work and pursue AI innovation.

We are innovating at every level of the stack – from chip, to microcode, to power delivery and cooling, to new algorithms and network architectures at the cutting edge of ML research. Our fully-integrated system delivers unprecedented performance because it is built from the ground up for deep learning workloads.

Responsibilities 

• Bring up new features in the performance/power model
• Perform comprehensive PPA trade-offs for new architectural features
• Extract insights for new features and  micro-architecture power efficiency
• Profile workloads, identify bottlenecks and project competition performance for benchmarking 
• Engage with SW teams for end-end application level modeling at cluster level
• Identify kernel level HW acceleration level opportunities

Skills & Qualifications

• Masters/PhD in Electrical/Computer Engineering 
• 10+ years of experience across performance analysis and modeling across GPUs, CPUs or accelerator products
• Strong background in computer architecture and key high level architectural trade-offs
• Comfortable standing up new performance models from scratch in Python or similar analytical environments
• Exposure to micro-code (kernel) performance bottlenecks and optimization techniques
• Good understanding of how high level workloads map to underlying micro-architecture is desired
• Understanding of basic ML workload profiling techniques and model network architecture is preferred
