About Tripta Gupta

Overall 12+ years of experience in CPU Core Architecture and VerificationGlobal RAS lead In the current expanded role into the ras team, end to end design feature bringup is the key area of expertise. The skill encompass understanding the design feature in detail, connect dots from firmware point of view, understand the environment type best suited to verify the feature, device testplan keeping in mind verification corner points, execution excellence, fail debug, triage and coverage closure. End goal is to have maximum defects found in simulation using best practices & fail froof verification strategy.Pre-Silicon experience - 7+ Years of engineering experience in CPU core verification at IBM incorporating various roles and skills- Assembly language programming using GPro tool to design test plans/scenarios to verify CPU features- Writing simple/complex test cases to verify the accuracy and correctness of the upcoming design features- Good design familiarity in order to make a test plan around the processor architecture design feature- Feature-based bring up at core level using best practices for verification- Strong experience in front end verification and good micro-architectural knowledge- Extensive debug and triage experience with architecture and design teams, unit teams, RAS teams etc- Collaborate with designers and other multi-functional teams to debug failed test plan- Improving the coverage for exception schemas, coverage for millicode instructions by finding holes & challenging the tool capabilities- Suggest enhancements needed to the tool for testing knowledge improvement - Good communication skills, interpersonal skills, self-motivated, quick learner, team player- Environment: Linux/Unix- Languages: C/C++, CPU Assembly, Perl, Python Post-Silicon experience - 3+ years of IT industry experience in Systems post-silicon characterization & validation encompassing a wide range of skill sets and roles- Virtual Bring-up, Hardware Bring-up, and Characterization on IBM Z series mainframe servers- Automation and development of various tools using PERL/C/SHELL programming for processor characterization and bring up- Data analysis and correlation of voltage, frequency, and temperature post-processor characterization across various homegrown workloads, scan ring validation- End-to-end responsibility of driving failure analysis on SPQL fail parts plugged on actual failure systems- Hands-on experience in the engineering data process used to configure the machine at initialization time
