  • Patent number: 11775460
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for communicating data with stacked memory dies are described. A first semiconductor die may communicate with an external computing device using a binary-symbol signal including two signal levels representing one bit of data. Semiconductor dies may be stacked on one another and include internal interconnects (e.g., through-silicon vias) to relay an internal signal generated based on the binary-symbol signal. The internal signal may be a multi-symbol signal modulated using a modulation scheme that includes three or more levels to represent more than one bit of data. The multi-level symbol signal may simplify the internal interconnects. A second semiconductor die may be configured to receive and re-transmit the multi-level symbol signal to semiconductor dies positioned above the second semiconductor die.

  • Patent number: 11663488
    Abstract: An online system trains a transformer architecture by an initialization method which allows the transformer architecture to be trained without normalization layers of learning rate warmup, resulting in significant improvements in computational efficiency for transformer architectures. Specifically, an attention block included in an encoder or a decoder of the transformer architecture generates the set of attention representations by applying a key matrix to the input key, a query matrix to the input query, a value matrix to the input value to generate an output, and applying an output matrix to the output to generate the set of attention representations. The initialization method may be performed by scaling the parameters of the value matrix and the output matrix with a factor that is inverse to a number of the set of encoders or a number of the set of decoders.

  • Patent number: 11593117
    Abstract: Various aspects disclosed herein relate to combining instructions to load data from or store data in memory while processing instructions in a computer processor. More particularly, at least one pattern of multiple memory access instructions that reference a common base register and do not fully utilize an available bus width may be identified in a processor pipeline. In response to determining that the multiple memory access instructions target adjacent memory or non-contiguous memory that can fit on a single cache line, the multiple memory access instructions may be replaced within the processor pipeline with one equivalent memory access instruction that utilizes more of the available bus width than either of the replaced memory access instructions.
