AMD together we advance_

HPC/ML GPU Performance Architect:

AMD is looking for an outstanding technical contributor & lead to help optimize performance of AMDbased

next-generation GPU accelerators for HPC and Machine Learning. As a passionate and dedicated

Server GPU Performance Architect in the MI SOC Architecture Team, you will optimize SOC

performance by identifying opportunities across all parts of system architecture, spanning the

application and related frameworks, driver, GPU core, memory & I/O subsystems. You will collect and

analyze performance profiling data and traces to isolate performance bottlenecks, and share the

insights to help drive features into the next generation of server GPUs and software stack components.

The ideal candidate is expected to be well informed on latest trends in GPU accelerated HPC and ML,

and be able to quickly ascertain, in a data-driven manner, how next generation server GPUs and

platforms should be engineered to support those needs

Key Responsibilities:

• Establishes and maintains AMD's technological leadership position

• Considered technical leader across project and departmental boundaries and has a proven

track record for sustained innovation.

• Is responsible for projects or processes of significant strategic or commercial importance and
