We are looking for CPU architecture research interns. Interns will participate in research on various topics related with CPU architecture and microarchitecture and have opportunities to collaborate with senior CPU architects and researchers to publish research results at top-tier computer conferences. Interns will be assigned to one of the following areas, but not limited to, based on their experiences and skill sets.

• Core architecture and microarchitecture
• Memory system
• Multicore system
• Interconnection and coherence
• Processing in memory
• System architecture and SOC
• Workload Characterization

Responsibilities include, but are not limited to, writing a proposal, generating workloads, conducting simulation, analyzing results, and writing a paper draft.

Qualifications/Requirements:

• Students in computer engineering, computer science or related fields – PhD preferred
• Deep understanding of computer architecture and microarchitecture including out-of-order execution, pipeline design, and memory system
• Strong C++ and object-oriented programming skills
• Hands-on experience in CPU architecture and micro-architecture performance modeling with architecture simulators – GEM5 or equivalent is a plus
• Experience with script languages
• Research experience in publishing conference or journal papers in the computer architecture or related fields
• Good verbal and written communication skills
• Highly organized, detail-oriented self-starter, who can deliver outcome independently and in a team environment
• Experience in workload generation using open-source compilers and tools (plus)
• Knowledge of the architecture trend and emerging workloads (plus)
