What are the responsibilities and job description for the Compiler Intern position at Xilinx Careers?
Description
At Xilinx, we are leading the industry transformation to build an adaptable, intelligent world. ARE YOU bold, collaborative, and creative? At Xilinx, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to revolutionize the world of technology. We believe that by embracing diverse ideas, pushing boundaries, and working together as ONEXILINX, anything is possible.Our culture of innovation began with the invention of the Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA), and with the 2018 introduction of our Adaptive Compute Acceleration Platform (ACAP), has made a quantum leap in capability, solidifying our role as the adaptable platform supplier of choice. From the start, we have always believed in providing inventors with products and platforms that are infinitely adaptable. From self-driving cars, to world-record genome processing, to AI and big data, to the world's first 5G networks, we empower the world's builders and visionaries whose ideas solve every day problems and enhance people's lives.
Xilinx Research Labs continuously explores new FPGA architectures and environments to address the future processing needs of several application domains. Scaling design methodology to the largest designs and new devices often requires innovative tool and design methodology.
For this R&D activity, we are offering an intern job position focusing on development of advanced compilers for multicore vector processors deployed in Xilinx devices. By making these devices easier to program, this compiler will increase designer productivity and better enable portability to new architectures. The research prototype will also leverage state of the art compiler frameworks, using LLVM and MLIR.
The role will focus on working in a small team to develop a compiler and associated applications, assess architectural tradeoffs, and de-risk these new technologies and design methodologies.
Internship Goals:
- Building a research prototype compiler based on concurrent abstractions for programmable devices.
- Developing example applications using the compiler and exploring design tradeoffs.
- Contributing to Open Source LLVM and MLIR infrastructure.
- Communicating results inside and outside of Xilinx.
Desired Qualifications:
- Exceptional MSc / PhD student in Electrical Engineering or Computer Science/Engineering.
- Hands-on experience with C/C++ and compiler frameworks
- Experience with concurrent models of computation, e.g. Dataflow, Kahn Process Networks
- Understanding of an associated application area, e.g. Video, Wireless, Machine Learning.
- Understanding of computer architecture and/or FPGA hardware design.
- Good communication, teamwork & problem solving skills.
