Work experience
- Silicon Physical Design Intern, Graphcore, Jul 2024 - Aug 2024
- Developed an experimental Python tree algorithm for identifying common groupings of standard cells in a processor netlist to reduce power consumption, assembling a database of logically equivalent groupings with their number of instances. Delivered grouping proposals for a relevant processor.
- Silicon Logical Design Intern, Graphcore, Jul 2023 - Sep 2023
- Designed a FP32 hardware instruction to compute a quick approximation for an ML activation function in 10x fewer instruction cycles, optimised for timing and functionally verified with a companion testbench. Ran inference tests with LLMs to compare performance against exact function and established approaches.
- Silicon Verification Intern, Graphcore, Jul 2022 - Sep 2022
- Delivered up to 100x faster Python message parsing from external EDA tools using Intel Hyperscan, core to a Python/C++/SQL database system used for processor development. Built a Python tool to generate random strings from regular expressions, used to evaluate performance of regex libraries and create unit tests.
- Unity Developer Intern, KXcontrols, Oct 2020 - Mar 2021
- Prototyped a 3D virtual interface using Unity game engine for building systems management software.
