Samsung Austin Research and Development Center (SARC) and Advanced Computing Lab (ACL) are divisions of Samsung Austin Semiconductor, LLC. At SARC/ACL, we are building a center of excellence for intellectual property (IP) that applies to high-performance computing devices, including Samsung’s premium smartphones used by millions around the world.

Our mission is to drive Samsung GPU technology into graphics, gaming, and parallel computing.

SARC/ACL offers an agile and innovative environment with the stability and resources of a leading global company. Our culture is rooted in collaboration, curiosity, and growth. Here, your bold ideas are encouraged, and teamwork powers our innovation. You'll work alongside a diverse global task force with cross-functional impact, contributing to multiple stages of the technology development cycle and seeing your work in real-world products. Learning and experimenting always happen, and creative thinking enables ideas to become reality.

As the first to introduce Ray Tracing in the mobile platform, our GPU technology development focuses on bringing console-quality features to mobile devices. Driven by anticipating use cases, we design for easy derivatives with scalability, software compatibility, and generational performance, power, and area (PPA) uplift.

Our System IP and SOC Architecture are the central systems that interconnect all critical IPs to memory and performance. We're building system modeling capability based on optimization and use-case-driven analysis (gaming, computational photography), enabling a world-class memory sub-system. With scalability at the frontier of our design focus, our competitive IP solution aims to address multiple market segments.

We are a multi-site R&D center with a presence in Austin (TX), San Jose (CA), and San Diego (CA).
