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

· Interconnect and coherence

· Accelerator

· Processing in memory

· System architecture and SOC

· Workload characterization

Responsibilities include writing a research 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)

Hourly intern pay range: $18 to $59, depending on degree-seeking academic program (PhD, Master’s, Bachelor’s, etc.), years of relevant experience, year in school, internship location, credentials, qualifications, geographic location and other job-related factors.

Housing allowance and relocation benefit might be provided to intern candidates who meet the qualifications. Additional details on the compensation package will be provided to candidates during the interview process.
