What You’ll Learn

• Project: Supercomputing Project (SCP), Modeling Track: Super node hardware sub-team & AI/LLM/GPT Application sub-team
• Skills You’ll Learn:
  • Understanding how various coupling architectures can impact application performance and power.
  • Running of applications using various profiling tools on various hardware.
  • Analyzing profiling results to understand application and hardware bottlenecks and profiler limitations.
  • Gain understanding of key phases of applications under study and their performance on various hardware.
  • Running of applications on the SST simulator, understanding its configurations, and possibly the internal modeling details.

What You’ll Do

• Characterize the amount of latency imposed by kernel launches and data transfers for various GPU-accelerated workloads on various hardware (discrete and integrated GPUs) using existing profiling tools (nsys/nsight, Vtune, Advisor, Tau).
• AI inference: LLMs, DLRMs, Graph NNs
• Estimate potential speedup of these workloads if run on tightly-coupled accelerator hardware. Explain assumptions/rationale for the estimates.
• Estimate potential power savings of these workloads if run on tightly-coupled accelerator hardware. Explain assumptions/rationale for the estimates.
• Identify specific AI workloads and specific areas/phases/kernels of AI workloads that benefit from tight coupling.
• As the research progresses, alternate or additional scope may be proposed by either party. Inclusion of that scope must be mutually agreed upon between Samsung and internship candidate.
• Complete other responsibilities as assigned.

Location: Hybrid, working onsite at our San Jose, CA headquarters 3 days per week, with the flexibility to work remotely the remainder of your time
