Process
The interviews were conducted over video call and on CoderPad.
I went through two rounds but did not make it past the second round. Both rounds were 45-minute long technical interviews.
In the first round, I was given a memory interface specification and walked through the process of writing a UVM scoreboard.
The second round asked various questions about caches, virtual memory, and OOP.
I was also asked to write code to find the nth Fibonacci number in a sequence.
Finally, an interviewer described a hypothetical situation with parallel threads accessing the same memory and how to verify the correctness.
