Advancing the World's Technology Together
Our technology solutions power the tools you use every day--including smartphones, electric vehicles, hyperscale data centers, IoT devices, and so much more. Here, you'll have an opportunity to be part of a global leader whose innovative designs are pushing the boundaries of what's possible and powering the future.
We believe innovation and growth are driven by an inclusive culture and a diverse workforce. We're dedicated to empowering people to be their true selves. Together, we're building a better tomorrow for our employees, customers, partners, and communities.
What You'll Do
The APL (Advanced Processor Lab) is one of the research labs of SAIT (Samsung Advanced Institute of Technology) which is Samsung's R&D hub, established as the incubator for cutting-edge technologies. SAIT's mission has covered various research areas from AI applications/algorithms research, neuromorphic processor, domain-specific accelerators to new materials, quantum computing, and super computer system.
APL is committed to shaping the future of CPU processor and SoC architecture for the most demanding applications of the future like AI and HPC. We are building the foundation of processors and the related platform which are applied to various business targets of Samsung in the future. For more practical and sustainable architecture, we emphasize that the CPU - programming core should be the center of technology to run all of heterogenous computing engines with complex software under easy-to-use programming environment. It requires innovative ways how to couple tightly with hardware engines as well as maximizing the efficiency and performance of CPU processor.
Our team collaborates closely with other research groups in SAIT like applications, system modeling, network and physical implementation team. We also have several collaborations with innovative academic professors and researchers in the US. We have several successful experiences for commercialized accelerators and SoC for AI, and we continuously keep research and development for emerging technologies as well as realization to the products.
