      GPU Memory Hierarchy Design Verification Engineer Interview

      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      Austin, TX
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Apple (Austin, TX) in Dec 2019

      Interview

      45 Minutes phone interview (1st interview). Went over resume, what the position was, and a series of technical questions about memory. This interview was difficult in the sense that I didn't possess the prerequisite knowledge required to answer these questions, but the difficulty of the questions was not that high. Overall the interviewer was easy to get along with.

      If you have a series of commands working on data (an image), how do you prevent commands working on the same data at the same time?
