Power 8 Core logic ownership: Small Mappers (Special Purpose Register Rename)- Expanded design from 4 to 8 threads- Added capability to handle Dispatch and Completion on two threads simultaneously- Combined macros and eliminated unused legacy logic- Actively drove down timing on slow circuits. Redesigned logic to meet timing where necessary.- Documented the design Power 8 Synthesis- Ownership of 4 large synthesized macros across two functional units- Worked with IBM Research and EDA teams, enhancing synthesis tools to handle difficult special case scenarios in the largest macros- Execution of automated and manual circuit fixes for Engineering Change Orders and late bug fixesPower 7 Core logic ownership: Branch and Condition Register Logic Instruction Issue Queues- Implementation of new features and pipeline timing, such as enhancement of branch conditional execution- Drove down timing and redesigned logic as necessary to solve timing issuesPower 7 Synthesis- Ownership of numerous small synthesized macros- Execution of automated and manual circuit fixes for Engineering Change Orders and late bug fixesTorrent Processor Integration- Performed synthesis under new, experimental methodology- Worked with IBM Research and EDA teams to specialize synthesis and integration tools for special case macros
