GPU Memory Hierarchy Design Verification Engineer Interview Experience - Austin, Texas
Process
45-minute phone interview (1st interview).
We went over my resume and the position. A series of technical questions about memory were asked.
This interview was difficult because I didn't possess the prerequisite knowledge to answer these questions, though the questions themselves were not of high difficulty. Overall, the interviewer was easy to get along with.
Questions
If you have a series of commands working on data (an image), how do you prevent commands working on the same data at the same time?
What is the difference between strong and weak memory models?
What conflict is possible when you have a weak memory model and another memory location containing flags that indicate the status of another memory location (described above)?
How do you prevent the reordering of instructions, and how would you use this as a solution to the above issue?
