About the role

Internship opportunities in Architecture Validation, Performance Modelling and Platform Architecture within Apple’s UK GPU team, involving building bit-accurate models, optimizing GPU micro-architecture, and researching platform-level architectural features across multiple locations in the UK.

Responsibilities

  • Architecture Validation: build bit-accurate C/C++ models of the GPU or design workloads to verify new GPU features; collaborate with verification and software teams to identify bugs and verify architectural solutions; communicate recommendations to the wider team.
  • Performance Modelling: define and optimise Apple's GPU micro-architecture; identify bottlenecks and opportunities for improvement; architect new simulator features; collaborate to maintain and improve the simulation environment and boost team productivity.
  • Platform Architecture: analyze performance of existing and future workloads; propose new features and research ideas to boost GPU performance; use performance and energy models to evaluate ideas; collaborate to maintain and improve the simulation environment.

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing a BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • At the end of the internship, you must return to school to continue your education or the internship must be the last requirement for you to graduate.
  • Strong coding skills with C or C++
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and design patterns
  • Curiosity about GPU / CPU / SOC architecture and micro-architecture
  • Knowledge of scripting languages such as Perl, Python or Ruby
  • Strong interpersonal and analytical skills
  • Ability to work well within a team and be productive under tight schedules
  • Familiarity with SystemVerilog / Verilog / VHDL
  • Prior experience on hardware architectural modelling and hardware description languages
  • Experience with one or more GPU APIs (Metal, DX12, Vulcan, CUDA, OpenGL, OpenCL)
  • Knowledge of performance simulation environments
  • Knowledge of software design patterns
