About the Role

**Job Description**

**Microelectronics Architecture/Hardware Energy Efficiency Internship**

**Position Overview:**

The summer internship will consist of estimating energy used in computing of hardware systems based on published data and also those in research. The intern should have a background in physics, or electrical or computer engineering and computer science. As part of a new initiative from the Department of Energy (DOE) on Energy Efficient Computing, SLAC is offering summer internships for graduate students at SLAC National Laboratory (& Stanford University).

The internship will focus on estimating energy used in computing of hardware systems based on published data and also those of research systems in laboratories for which data are available. During the internship, the student will work using the basics of computing architecture, memory, interconnects, and hardware to estimate energy requited per operation for different architectures with...
