      Application

      I applied through university. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Sept 2023

      Interview

      Two interviews: 1) Interviewer was apathetic and condescending, did not introduce himself or ask me to introduce myself, just went straight into the HackerRank. 2) Interview was more friendly, introduced himself and gave a good description of his team's work. Asked about multithreading, synchronization and virtual memory.

      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at NVIDIA in Nov 2011

      Interview

      Came to my career fair, had to answer a comp arch paper on the spot. The director then had me explain my answers. Got a call 10-15 days later. 1st phone interview was very tough, but i think it went well because i got a call for another interview in less than 24hrs. The 2nd was with the manager, he asked basic personality questions and technical questions, on my resume and a casual chat . I thought it went well, but I got a reject afterwards.

      Interview questions [4]

      Question 1

      describe a program/algo (say in C) to find the L1 cache size of your underlying hardware. No parameters given like associativity, block size etc. You also do not have any mechanism that tells you if your cache missed or hit in the underlying hardware.
