Senior SoC Architect focused on Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) and Video hardware CODECs (VPUs) - Led the hardware integration of GPUs and VPUs across 7+ products (mostly cellphone and tablet focused), producing architecture specifications and research for each. - Architected data paths for performance, clocking integration and crossing, fine grained power management, DRM content protection (memory isolation and encryption), and DFx concerns. - Utilized ARM Mali, Verisilicon, Imagination Technologies, and Intel GPU/VPU architectures. - Designed and improved microarchitectures used for GPU/VPU integration including a media-focused MMU, Snoop Filter (cache coherency performance), and GPU power management. - Worked with Intel’s GPU team (VPG) on GPU microarchitecture changes for improving graphics performance, enabling features, and easing SoC integration. - Directed the performance architecture teams in analysis, simulation, and benchmark projection for the IPs - Researched impacts of memory traces, cache performance, system latency, and system bottlenecks. - Analyzed and evaluated internal and 3rd party GPU architectures. Provided analysis on cost (area, power scaling), features, performance, and integration cost. - Worked with software and platform teams to analyze features / APIs, competitive performance grading, media framework impacts, and low level driver interactions. - Worked on the debug of silicon for software bringup on several of the projects
