This summer internship focuses on creating an efficient AI inference system for large-scale pre-trained LLMs.  The system will leverage data compression and AI accelerator hardware.  The intern will design the system, build it using a device emulator, integrate data compression algorithms, measure and optimize performance, and work with AI accelerator logic simulation and data transfer patterns between storage and hardware.  Responsibilities include designing an efficient AI inference system, selecting effective data compression for pre-trained LLMs, building the system with a device emulator, integrating data compression algorithms, measuring and optimizing performance, and completing other assigned tasks. The internship requires working onsite at least 4 days a week in San Jose.

What You’ll Do
This summer internship aims to create new efficient AI inference system for large-scaled pre-trained LLMs, which leverages data compression and AI accelerator hardware. AI accelerator logic is implemented on simulation environment. Data compression logic is implemented into device emulator, which considers data transfer pattern between storage and AI accelerator hardware. This position requires to design highly efficient AI inference system to choose most effective data compression for pre-trained LLMs.
