2 Power Architecture Jobs

As a Hardware Developer at IBM , you'll get to work on the systems that are driving the quantum revolution and the AI era. Join an elite team of engineering professionals who enable IBM customers to make better decisions quicker on the most trusted hardware platform in today's market. Your Role and Responsibilities The team is responsible for modeling the Power processor and systems which is used to evaluate the performance of new generation Power processor and systems and provide design guidance. The team is also responsible for performance verification and bring up of new Power processor and systems. As a Hardware Performance Modelling engineer, your responsibilities would be to work on multiple HW performance projects: Develop test and validation plans for hardware bringup, pre-silicon performance verification, and post-silicon performance validation. Develop kernels and methodologies to correlate software models with hardware performance. Interact and collaborate with hardware, software, and firmware development teams during system bringup and ensure the system meets its performance objectives. Root cause failures in simulation for performance changes/differences between Hardware and simulator. Build automation frameworks, test cases, and result analysis scripts. Design and develop models to simulate sub-systems like cache, interconnect, and memory protocols. Work with Architects/Research teams for optimizing architecture and system design, improving performance of next-generation POWER processor and system. Demonstrate leadership in characterizing benchmarks, workloads, and use cases (application code), and proposing system design optimizations to improve system-level performance. Independently own system unit and successfully drive performance missions. Excellent coding skills.

IBM Software infuses core business operations with intelligencefrom machine learning to generative AIto help make organizations more responsive, productive, and resilient. IBM Software helps clients put AI into action now to create real value with trust, speed, and confidence across digital labour, IT automation, application modernization, security, and sustainability. Critical to this is the ability to make use of all data, because AI is only as good as the data that fuels it. In most organizations data is spread across multiple clouds, on premises, in private datacentres, and at the edge. IBM's AI and data platform scales and accelerates the impact of AI with trusted data, and provides leading capabilities to train, tune and deploy AI across business. IBM's hybrid cloud platform is one of the most comprehensive and consistent approach to development, security, and operations across hybrid environmentsa flexible foundation for leveraging data, wherever it resides, to extend AI deep into a business. Your role and responsibilities This position is for an experienced Linux GNU/Open Source Compiler developer who has experience developing, optimizing and tuning code to a specified Hardware Architecture. While the target architecture of this work will be the IBM POWER architecture, experience tuning to x86 or ARM architectures will be directly applicable. As a developer on the Linux on Power team you will be responsible for: Working with and interlocking with other internal teams and with the Open Source Community for defining, designing, developing and testing Linux on Power specific features in the GCC compiler. Ensuring that those features are accepted upstream and incorporated into the appropriate Linux distributions. In addition to design and development work you will be responsible for working issues and defects including problem determination, problem recreation, providing fixes, validating fixes and getting fixes accepted by the Community. As a Open Source Compiler Developer you will: Enhance, optimize & maintain open source Linux compiler (GCC) for IBM Power processor (ppc64le) architecture Update open source toolchain to enable new IBM Power processor functions and instructions Work with open source community to upstream code, enabling the ecosystem to leverage new generation IBM Power processor Resolve functional issues including recreation & analysis, proposing & validating fixes and working with the community to upstream fixes This role requires expertise with the POWER instruction architecture, the GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) compiler, Binary Utilities (assembler/loader). Familiarity with software builds, bring-up, test and performance analysis tools used by Linux on Power is desirable along with general hardware skills. Applicant will be engaged in performance analysis and tuning utilizing the POWER instruction profiling tools. Candidates must have the ability to work in a team based environment with global and remote team members. Candidate should have experience with C/C++, scripting languages, assembler, familiarity with Bugzilla, GIT, open source development tools, simulation tools, performance analysis tools and working with mailing lists.
