I am a compiler architect at Cavium and we are looking to hire a JVM expert for our team.
We are a small team and you would be heavily involved in making Java run fast on our 48 core ThunderX ARMv8 processor. Having a single chip with so many cores is a real challenge for the Java VM, and we have plenty of interesting work to do. The ARMv8
architecture is a new player in the server market, and is a "green field" environment where you can make lots of important decisions that will have real impact. Our work with ThunderX in one socket and two socket systems has shown that implementation
decisions that are appropriate for multi-core machines (4-12 cores) don't necessarily scale to "many-core" machines (48 or 96 cores).
We are located in San Jose, CA and are open to off-site workers.
