Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMatthew Poremba is a computer architecture researcher and Member of Technical Staff at AMD Research with 13 years of experience designing microarchitecture and memory systems for high-performance processors, including work that contributed to the procurement of the Frontier Exascale supercomputer. He holds a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering from Penn State and has deep expertise in memory hierarchy, network-on-chip, 3D/2.5D integration, and byte-addressable non-volatile memories. Matthew has built and maintained architectural simulators (NVMain) and contributed backend changes to the widely used gem5 simulator, demonstrating strong practical and tool-level understanding of system-level modeling. His work spans academic rigor and applied engineering—from taped-out 3D ICs and circuit-level models to synthetic memory traffic models for Exascale APUs—while he balances serious research with a life that swaps snowboards for code seasonally.
