Top Interview Questions

Curated questions with expert answers to help you ace your next interview.

Why are GPUs commonly used for AI workloads?

GPUs support thousands of parallel cores capable of executing matrix and vector operations simultaneously. This parallelism significantly accelerates deep learning tasks compared to sequential CPU execution, making GPUs ideal for training large models.

What is the role of memory hierarchy in AI accelerators?

Memory hierarchy determines how quickly data moves between compute units and storage. Efficient caching, buffering, and on-chip SRAM usage reduce latency and power consumption, directly improving accelerator performance.

Difference between TPU and GPU architectures?

GPUs are general-purpose parallel processors while TPUs are specialized for tensor operations using systolic arrays. TPUs provide higher efficiency for fixed AI workloads but less flexibility compared to GPUs.

Why is hardware-software co-design important in AI chips?

AI performance depends on both hardware architecture and software frameworks. Co-design ensures kernels, compilers, and drivers fully utilize hardware capabilities, preventing bottlenecks and maximizing throughput.

How does power optimization impact edge AI devices?

Edge devices operate on batteries and have strict thermal limits. Power-efficient designs extend device life, reduce heat, and enable real-time AI processing in constrained environments.
