Professional Experience: ================== Texas Instruments (TI) Functional and performance simulator for TI Digital-Signal-Processor (DSP) cores that go into Mobile phones. I worked on evaluating various architecture options for System-On-Chip involving DSPs. I also worked on using functional simulator for pre-silicon validation of new design. I developed very fast functional simulation that enabled S/W development tool-flow on simulation. Intel Corporation (INTC) Worked on mainstream Client CPU architecture and performance simulator development. Worked on many protocols and on-die interconnect technologies used in modern multi-core CPUs. Have also worked on micro-architecture evaluation of shared-cache and DRAM memory sub-systems. Good exposure of various phases in CPU development cycle right from architecture exploration to pre-silicon performance-validation. Worked briefly on integrated graphics/media processing element. Managing team working on IP, Imaging and Camera processing IP, and System-On-Chip performance architecture. Each of these are complex integrated heterogeneous processing hardware blocks. Strong experience in mentoring and coaching people through various roles, responsibilities and projects. 20+ years of experience in working and collaborating with technical teams spread across remote geographies / cultures. Lived and worked in remote locations at Israel and United States via intra-company transfers (L1) Goals: ==== Work on solving complex technical problems. Continuous efficiency improvement via on-the-job technical innovation. Efficiency improvements via tooling and automation. Mentoring people to achieve best in career Specialities ======== Mobile and Server Microprocessor Architecture, Media and Vision IP architecture, C++ programming, SystemC, Scripting, Automation, Performance simulation for architecture development, cache, interconnect and memory controller micro-architecture. DSP and General purpose core architecture, Pre-Silicon Performance Validation of complex mainstream SoC designs
