THE ROLE

Do you want to develop math libraries to enable high performance computing and machine learning workloads at Exascale?  AMD is searching for talented and motivated mathematicians, scientists, and engineers to support rocSPARSE (https://github.com/ROCm/rocSPARSE), and rocALUTION (https://github.com/ROCm/rocALUTION), AMD’s GPU-accelerated, sparse matrix libraries.  The rocSPARSE and rocALUTION libraries are part of the AMD ROCm™ Software platform (https://github.com/ROCm).

ABOUT THE DEPARTMENT

The Libraries group in AMD AI GPU Software (AGS) builds the GPU-accelerated, open-source math and communication libraries that power artificial intelligence and high-performance computing applications on workstations, data centers, and super computers.

THE PERSON

You are accustomed to working in a dynamic, geographically distributed agile team, where partnership and collaboration are paramount.  You possess excellent written and verbal communication skills, strong attention to detail, and the ability to express your work in a clear, cohesive fashion.  You are results-oriented and accustomed to tight deadlines and changing priorities.  Most importantly, you are constantly thinking of ways to improve performance of software and hardware.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Implement and test GPU algorithms for sparse matrix representation, multiplication, and direct solver algorithms.
• Benchmark, profile, and optimize code to maximize throughput on single and multi-GPU systems.
• Deliver high-quality code and documentation following best practices for open-source software development.
• Work with key technical experts across AMD and with our partners and customers to improve ROCm applications, libraries, and tools.

PREFERRED EXPERIENCE:

• In depth understanding of algorithms for sparse matrices, including direct sparse solver algorithms
• Strong background developing applications and libraries in C, and C++
• GPU software development using HIP or CUDA.
• Understanding of linear algebra and numerical methods for sparse matrices.
• Understanding of CPU and GPU architectures and low-level optimization techniques including assembly programming and vectorization
• In-depth knowledge of best-practices in software development, including testing, profiling, debugging, documentation, version control, issue tracking, and planning

ACADEMIC CREDENTIALS:

• B.Sc. or B.Eng. degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Applied Mathematics, or equivalent
• Advanced degrees, such as M.Sc., M.Eng., Ph.D. are preferred.
