About The Position

Imagine what you can do here. Apple is a place where extraordinary people gather
to do their lives best work. Together we create products and experiences people
once couldn’t have imagined, and now, can’t imagine living without. It’s the
diversity of those people and their ideas that inspires the innovation that runs
through everything we do.

DESCRIPTION

APPLE INC has the following available in Cupertino, California and various
unanticipated locations throughout the USA. Working with computer architects to
develop ideas for improving performance on future silicon. Improving performance
of machine learning algorithms on the CPUs in apple watches, iPhones and Mac.
Testing workloads to ensure no performance regressions on silico. Debugging
performance regressions on silicon and improve performance of machine learning
model. Researching about instruction set architectures and conduct performance
tuning on hardware. Collaborating with compiler teams to improve application and
system performance. Working closely with OS teams to debug issues and maintain
the operating system. Benchmarking and comparing the performance of workloads
across different operating system/compiler/silicon versions. Working with
machine learning teams to find ways to improve the performance of their models
on the CPUs in different devices. Presenting CPU performance results to cross
functional teams. Working with performance modeling team to develop plans for
silicon performance profiling and characterization; and working with instruction
profiling tools to develop new instructions to improve instruction time. 40
hours/week. At Apple, base pay is one part of our total compensation package and
is determined within a range. This provides the opportunity to progress as you
grow and develop within a role. The base pay range for this role is between
$166,470 - $220,900/yr and your base pay will depend on your skills,
