Description

AMD Research seeks a Computer Science or Electrical Engineering graduate student to work on high-performance computer software and hardware. You will be responsible for developing innovations that feed into scaled-out systems incorporating a variety of current and emerging accelerators and tightly coupled CPUs. The work has the potential to directly impact product roadmaps and to influence future hardware and software products.
AMD Research nurtures and encourages all co-ops to file quality patents and to publish at top-tier research venues out of their internship projects. Previous co-ops at AMD Research have gone on to publish the results of their work in major academic and industrial conferences, file patent disclosures for innovative ideas as well contribute to production code and hardware designs.

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

The role is for our CPU Research team. Our mission is to create the fastest and most energy efficient CPUs for a wide range of market segments and applications. By joining our team, you will have the opportunity to work with experienced CPU architects innovating on the next generation of AMD processors. You will exercise your skills on cutting-edge CPU designs while having the chance to see your ideas being part of a final and real product.

Area of Responsibilities
