Description

Overview:

WHAT YOU DO AT AMD CHANGES EVERYTHING
We care deeply about transforming lives with AMD technology to enrich our industry, our communities, and the world.

Our mission is to build great products that accelerate next-generation computing experiences - the building blocks for the data center, artificial intelligence, PCs, gaming and embedded.

Underpinning our mission is the AMD culture. We push the limits of innovation to solve the world's most important challenges. We strive for execution excellence while being direct, humble, collaborative, and inclusive of diverse perspectives. This is who we are at our best. One Company. One Team.

AMD together we advance_

Responsibilities:

LOCATION:
Cambridge, UK

ONSITE:
This role requires the student to work from the Cambridge office throughout the duration of Internship term.

PROGRAM TERM:

Summer: 1st July to 30 September

WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:

Work in the Data Center Architecture Team building novel compiler technology that will change how packet processing is done
Learn about eBPF a network packet processing API and ISA that is used extensively in the Linux kernel
Build a reverse compiler that takes EBPF machine code and translates it into LLVM IR (intermediate representation), feeding into our novel compiler pipeline, or
Take existing packet processing workloads and adapt them to run well with worldclass High-Level Synthesis tools making them run blazingly fast on FGPAs

We will show you how a practical, novel compiler looks from the inside, how to move from software development in C to building hardware structures using HLS, and how modern network packet processing can be accelerated and made much more efficient.

The work we are doing on this project has the potential to vastly transform how packet processing can be offloaded from the host CPU to a high-performance networking card, while at the same time unlocking programmer productivity by not having to write custom RTL to unlock these performance and efficiency benefits.

You will get a hands-on experience in a highly skilled and experienced architecture team that is working on the next generation of SmartNICs.

After this internship, you will have gained hands-on experience with compilers, high-performance networking, and computer architecture for future data center systems.

You will know your way around LLVM and Vitis-HLS tools, and have worked on a key piece of our end-to-end compilation flow that unlocks performance, efficiency, and programmer productivity.

KEY QUALIFICATIONS:

Experience programming in C / C++
Interest in learning about compilers and FPGAs, previous experience is a plus
Interest in highperformance networking, previous experience is a plus

WHAT WOULD SET YOU APART:

Experience with any of the technologies mentioned above
Computer architecture experience
Experience with Linux and git

WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:

You are curious and can work through and with complex software processes and technology, such as code compilation and highlevel synthesis
You can explore an open space with guidance from experts, and come up with novel and imaginative solutions
You are senior undergrad and have programming experience
