• Worked as a developer on Functional modeling, simulation and validation of graphics hardware architecture using C++, providing a model against which the actual silicon is verified. Major Focus was on video compression - integration of AV1, HEVC, VP9, AVC, SVC and MPEG-2 codecs.
• Owned integrating and validating feature involving optimization of memory reads and writes for 9th - 12th Gen GPU.
• Responsible for complete execution, validation and delivery of the feature to external teams.
• Owned and delivered high quality simulation models for video enhancement and Scaling Format conversion algorithms, specifically High Dynamic Range, Dithering and Interlace which were used as golden reference for HW Design & validation.
• As Media codec test content development owner maintained and upgraded HEVC and
• VP9 Test Generation Tool using C# and C++ to generate all the focus test content for validation
• Good understanding in JCT-VC’s High Efficiency Video Coding (HEVC) SPEC
• Worked with Architecture and RTL teams to define focus test scenarios for performance tests, benchmark tests.
• Part of team that is responsible for advanced test content generation using Perl and Ruby for testing out specific codec features, which formed the basis for 90% of the functional verification of the codec.
• Successfully built a tool in C++ to convert HEVC legacy 420-bit streams to Range extension formats (422/444) cutting down validation efforts from 1-2 months to 2-3 weeks.
