Job Description

About The Role

Engineers on the inference performance team operate at the intersection of hardware and software, driving end-to-end model inference speed and throughput. Their work spans low-level kernel performance debugging and optimization, system-level performance analysis, performance modeling and estimation, and the development of tooling for performance projection and diagnostics.

Responsibilities

  • Build performance models (kernel-level, end-to-end) to estimate the performance of state of the art and customer ML models.
  • Optimize and debug our kernel micro code and compiler algorithms to elevate ML model inference speed, throughput and compute utilization on the Cerebras WSE.
  • Debug and understand runtime performance on the system and cluster.
  • Develop tools and infrastructure to help visualize performance data collected from the Wafer Scale Engine and our compute cluster.
