PARALLEL COMPUTING SOFTWARE ENGINEER Interview Experience
Process
The process was long and grueling, consisting of:
- 3 phone interviews
- 2 programming tests
- A 6-hour onsite with lots of technical questions
It was also exciting in how much I learned. I received a rejection notice about 10 days after the onsite.
Questions
Lots of questions about:
- GPU architecture
- Fundamental parallel algorithms
- Big-O work/cost efficiency analysis
General questions about considerations needed to optimize code on a hardware/operating system level (e.g., how does instruction-level parallelism work? how does virtual memory work?).
