Within IBM, the Z Hardware Performance team is responsible for assessing and evaluating current, future, and concept processor and cache subsystem designs that make up a significant portion of the platforms content, as well as being engaged in the testing and validation of new products to ensure the platform meets the performance goals of the program. The team is also responsible for tracing new workloads on HW and use various tracing tools to use these traces for pre-silicon performance verification.
Responsible for executing scripts in element simulation and system simulation tools. Compare simulation results to real HW.
• Analyze the results of the output of simulation runs.
• Work with HW designers on issues found with simulation runs.
• Update tracing tools to make traces compatible with next machines simulation environment.
Make suggestions to improve design to improve performance
