Apparently the folks at Intel are not only working on the first Larrabee processor: they’ve also begun developing the Larrabee 2.
According to a job posting on Intel’s very own website :
LRB Front-End Logic Design Eng – 558503
Description
In this position, you will be playing a key technical role in front end development of the LRB2 design.
Your responsibilities will include but not be limited to:
- Micro-architecture development and RTL design of one or more complex functional units
- Working with architecture teams to scope out implementation costs, power-performance tradeoffs and propose alternative solutions
- Working with validation teams to drive appropriate validation strategies and actively contributing to a high quality design
- Working with backend teams to enable convergence to meet aggressive design targets
- Contributing to advancing design processes/design methodologies
PS: this is old news (October) for some but I only learned about it today.
