Job Description:
The Role:
The Algorithms and Libraries Team seeks a highly technical and performance-driven approach to develop and optimize algorithms for RISC-V hardware. The role is centered on leveraging vector processing to create high-performance libraries, deploying them to major AI/ML and DSP frameworks, and contributing to the MLIR-based compiler ecosystem.
Responsibilities:
Develop high-performance algorithms and software libraries for RISC-V machines, leveraging vector processing and SiFive's custom ISA extensions.
Deploy SiFive Kernel Libraries to open source AI/ML and DSP frameworks.
Collaborate with compiler and runtime engineers to improve compiler optimizations and integrate high-performance algorithms into our MLIR-based parallel programming framework.
Participate in codesign efforts with architects and hardware engineers, navigating tradeoffs between micro/architecture and algorithm designs, shaping products in early development stages.
Lead a cross-functional project from conception to product release.
Requirements:
Masters or PhD in computer science, applied mathematics, or a related field.
Practical background (3+ years experience) in developing and optimizing algorithms for specific microarchitectures, writing low-level C and assembly code.
Theoretical background in analysis of algorithms, linear algebra, and parallel computing.
Software design and programming experience in C/C++/Python/Jinja2/CMake for development, debugging, testing and performance analysis.
Familiarity with major ML training frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and common inference runtimes (e.g., LiteRT and the Micro version, ExecuTorch, ONNX Runtime, TVM).
Familiarity with ARM SIMD technologies (NEON/MVE/DSP extensions) is a plus.
Familiarity with parallel computing frameworks (e.g. CUDA/OpenMP) is a plus.
