Ashwani Kumar — CEO
Functional validation (FV) of cross products for Xeon servers and concurrency for Xeon and Xeon-D servers. ● Own FV of core, cache coherency, BMC, OOBMSM, RAS, PCIE/CXL, Power Management, accelerator and side band cross products and concurrency. ● Have experience of complete post silicon product validation cycle starting from “Power On” to “Volume Validation”. ● System concurrency traffic generation for SOC including accelerator complex and cross products validation (with Power Management, PCIe, CPU, memory traffic). ● Intent verification to catch false passes and sanitize test content. ● Debug issues by localizing failure, recreating and root causing them to Silicon/RTL/firmware/tools issue using tracker logs, memory dump, performance monitoring and register reads etc. ● Define HW/SW BIOS knobs for accelerators, enable/disable in combinations and validate them on customer’s silicon configs. ● Prepare status reports, maintain progress indicators, represent the team in reviews, update meetings and collaborations. ● SoC feature enablement, testing in pre-Si using hybrid system level emulation model running on Zebu emulator. ● Implemented K-Mean Clustering for the Post-Silicon TL optimization. ● Contributed to implement the reinforcement learning for the post-Si coverage driven validation
