A critical requirement of the verification flow is the requirement of legal and realistic stimulus of a custom Machine Learning Accelerator Chip. Content creation is built using formal methods that model legal behavior of the design and then solving the problem to create the specific assembly tests. The entire frame work for creating these custom tests is developed using a SMT solver and custom software code to guide the solution space into templated scenarios. This highly visible and innovative role requires the design of this solving framework and collaborating with design verification engineers, hardware architects and designers to ensure that interesting content can be created for the projects needs. \nKey job responsibilities\nDevelop an understanding for a custom machine learning instruction set architecture. \nModel correctness of instruction streams using first order logic. \nCreate custom API's to allow control over scheduling and randomness.\nDeploy algorithms to ensure concurrent code is safely constructed. \nCreate coverage metrics to ensure solution space coverage. \nUse novel methods like machine learning to automate content creation.\nAbout the team\nUtility Computing (UC)\nAWS Utility Computing (UC) provides product innovations - from foundational services such as Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3) and Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2), to consistently released new product innovations that continue to set AWS’s services and features apart in the industry.
