About the job
Tenstorrent is a leader in AI technology, aiming to revolutionize performance, usability, and cost-efficiency. As AI redefines computing, our solutions must integrate innovations across software models, compilers, platforms, networking, and semiconductors. We are seeking a CPU Performance Modeling Architect to evaluate, shape, and optimize future CPU architectures. This role involves using performance modeling, workload analysis, and a deep understanding of CPU architecture to address complex design questions. You will collaborate closely with CPU architects, RTL designers, software and compiler teams, and system engineers to identify performance opportunities, assess architectural trade-offs, and translate modeling insights into actionable design decisions.
Responsibilities
- Evaluate, shape, and optimize the performance of future CPU architectures.
- Use performance modeling, workload analysis, and deep understanding of CPU architecture to answer complex design questions.
- Work closely with CPU architects, RTL designers, software and compiler teams, and system engineers.
- Identify performance opportunities and evaluate architectural tradeoffs.
- Turn modeling insights into actionable design decisions.
Requirements
- 8+ years of experience in CPU architecture, performance modeling, microarchitecture, performance analysis, or a closely related field.
- Strong understanding of modern processor architecture and microarchitecture (pipelines, execution, scheduling, branch prediction, caches, memory hierarchy, data movement).
- Demonstrated experience using performance models, simulation, or quantitative analysis to guide architectural decisions.
- Strong programming skills in C++, Python, or similar languages, with experience developing or extending modeling and analysis tools.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to work effectively across architecture, hardware, and software teams.
Benefits
- Highly competitive compensation package
