Graham Murphy

Graham Murphy has extensive work experience in the field of engineering, specializing in hardware and microprocessor design. Graham is currently employed as a Senior Principal Engineer at Ampere since November 2020. Prior to that, they worked as a Senior Staff Engineer at Marvell Semiconductor from July 2019 to November 2020. From November 2017 to July 2019, Graham held the position of Senior Staff Engineer at Futurewei Technologies, Inc.

Before their time at Ampere, Marvell Semiconductor, and Futurewei Technologies, Inc., Graham worked at Oracle Corporation as a Principal Hardware Engineer from April 2014 to October 2017. Graham'srole at Oracle involved proposing improvements to SPARC load/store misalignment support, specifying new atomic memory operation instructions, and proposing L3 cache quality of service features. Graham also made significant enhancements to the SPARC instruction decode unit and the performance monitor unit.

From 2010 to 2014, Graham worked as a Design Engineer at Soft Machines. Prior to that, they were a Staff Engineer at Sun Microsystems from April 2008 to March 2010, contributing to the RTL design of the L1 data cache prefetcher and defining the memory-tagging feature used in Silicon Secured Memory (SSM). Additionally, they were a member of the Technical Staff at Montalvo Systems from January 2005 to April 2008, where they played a key role in the performance modeling, micro-architecture development, and logic design of an advanced x86 compatible microprocessor.

Graham's career began at MemoryLogix in July 2004 as a Logic Designer, specializing in load/store and cache subsystems. MemoryLogix was later incorporated into Montalvo Systems. Prior to joining Montalvo Systems, Graham worked at Sun Microsystems as a Manager/Staff Engineer from September 1996 to July 2004, where they served as the cluster logic design manager for CPU core and SOC components and was the lead logic design engineer for the Instruction Fetch Unit. Graham also gained experience in microarchitecture modelling and performance analysis.

Before their time at Sun Microsystems, Graham worked as a Staff Engineer at IBM from March 1995 to September 1996.

Throughout their career, Graham Murphy has demonstrated a strong expertise in hardware and microprocessor design, making significant contributions to multiple companies and projects.

Graham Murphy holds a Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering with a major in Circuits and a minor in Computer Science from Rice University. Graham also obtained a Master's degree in Electrical Engineering from The University of Texas at Austin.
