Practice questions in AMD's style

Original ZorixOS questions written the way AMD interviews, so you rehearse the real format. Not claimed as asked at AMD.

  1. Imagine AMD is launching a new line of EPYC processors optimized for AI inference workloads. Design a system to monitor the performance and health of these processors deployed across a large cloud provider's infrastructure, focusing on detecting anomalies in latency and throughput. Consider aspects like data collection, aggregation, and alerting.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates system design thinking, scalability, and fault tolerance in a cloud context.

  2. You're working on the firmware for AMD's Instinct accelerators. A customer reports intermittent hangs during complex deep learning training jobs. How would you approach debugging this issue? Detail the tools and methodologies you'd employ, considering potential root causes in hardware, firmware, or software drivers.

    Software EngineerDebuggingTests: Assesses debugging skills, systematic problem-solving, and understanding of hardware-software interaction.

  3. AMD is developing a new SDK for its RDNA 3 graphics architecture to enable developers to optimize game performance. Outline the key components and APIs you would include in this SDK. How would you ensure backward compatibility with older RDNA architectures while exposing new features?

    Software EngineerSoftware DesignTests: Tests understanding of API design, software architecture, and developer ecosystem considerations.

  4. Describe how you would design a distributed caching layer for AMD's ROCm software stack to improve the performance of frequently accessed kernel data. Consider cache invalidation strategies and consistency models.

    Software EngineerSystem DesignTests: Evaluates knowledge of distributed systems, caching mechanisms, and performance optimization.

  5. Write a SQL query to identify the top 5 cloud providers by revenue generated from AMD EPYC server sales in the last quarter, considering a table structure with `sales` (sale_id, customer_id, product_id, quantity, sale_date) and `customers` (customer_id, company_name, company_type). Assume 'EPYC' is part of the product name.

    Data ScientistSQLTests: Assesses SQL proficiency and ability to extract business-relevant information.

  6. AMD is launching a new feature in its Adrenalin software that automatically optimizes game settings based on user hardware. Design an A/B test to validate the effectiveness of this new feature. What metrics would you track, and how would you determine statistical significance?

    Data ScientistExperimentationTests: Tests understanding of experimental design, metric definition, and statistical analysis in a product context.
