The first team I interviewed with asked about: Computer architecture basics: Pipelines, branching and hazards, and hardware-based computer organization themed questions. The questions were along the lines of: 1) Tell me about the performance implications of a deep pipeline. 2) What do "volatile" and "virtual" mean in programming? 3) Define RISC vs. CISC differences. They also asked questions on course work in progress, completed, and projects listed on my resume. The second interview team was more behavioral, asking questions about projects and coding experiences.
