Full Job Description

Systems Architect: Memory Wall Exploration **Description -** **Job Summary:** The **Systems Architect: Memory Wall Exploration** focuses on understanding how AI execution interacts with platform resources, particularly memory hierarchy, data movement, and shared-memory behavior across heterogeneous compute environments (CPU, GPU, AI accelerators). The architect will engage with internal teams and external partners (including memory and silicon vendors) to translate low-level technical characteristics into system-level guidance and platform strategy for HP. ## **Key Responsibilities** **Platform Performance & Memory Analysis** * Analyze how AI workloads interact with system resources across CPU, GPU, and AI accelerators * Evaluate the impact of **memory bandwidth, latency, contention, and data movement** on workload performance, responsiveness, and power efficiency * Characterize workload behavior in **shared-memory systems** , including interactions between foreground and background activity * Identify sources of performance variability and experience degradation under real-world multitasking scenarios. * Overcome the performance bottleneck where processor speeds outpace memory bandwidth, focusing on optimizing data movement between CPUs, GPUs, and memory (DRAM, HBM, CXL). ### **System-Level Guidance & Strategy** * Translate memory and system-level constraints into **actionable guidance** for platform architecture, runtime, power, and performance teams * Help define execution envelopes and tradeoffs (e.g., placement, concurrency limits, configuration sensitivity) that improve AI experience predictability * Contribute to **platform-level strategy** by connecting technical constraints to user experience outcomes and product decisions **Cross-Functional & Ecosystem Collaboration** * Work closely with platform architecture, runtime, power/thermal, and AI enablement teams within HP * **Engage with external ecosystem partners** , including memory and silicon vendors, to:
