CPU Verification Interview Experience - New York, New York
Process
Got a mail from the HR and asked me to select a date and time for the interview.
It was a phone call interview for an hour or so.
Questions mainly on pipelined processors, Tomasulo, caches and fifos.
Apart from these questions were also on C++ basics and some were also on verification concepts.
Questions
What are the hazards in a pipelined processor and how do we rectify them? What are the types of caches and which one is better? How does the cache fetch data from the main memory?
What is an asynchronous FIFO? These are general questions about OOE.What are semaphores and why do we use them?
