  • Patent number: 11829699
    Abstract: A packaging technology to improve performance of an AI processing system resulting in an ultra-high bandwidth system. An IC package is provided which comprises: a substrate; a first die on the substrate, and a second die stacked over the first die. The first die can be a first logic die (e.g., a compute chip, CPU, GPU, etc.) while the second die can be a compute chiplet comprising ferroelectric or paraelectric logic. Both dies can include ferroelectric or paraelectric logic. The ferroelectric/paraelectric logic may include AND gates, OR gates, complex gates, majority, minority, and/or threshold gates, sequential logic, etc. The IC package can be in a 3D or 2.5D configuration that implements logic-on-logic stacking configuration. The 3D or 2.5D packaging configurations have chips or chiplets designed to have time distributed or spatially distributed processing. The logic of chips or chiplets is segregated so that one chip in a 3D or 2.5D stacking arrangement is hot at a time.

  • Patent number: 11823011
    Abstract: Analyzing execution of quantum services using quantum computing devices and quantum simulators is disclosed. In one example, a classical computing device receives an operating parameter representing an operating condition of a quantum computing device. Upon determining that the operating parameter satisfies an operating environment threshold, the classical computing device initiates execution of a first instance of a quantum service on the quantum computing device. The classical computing device also simulates, using a quantum simulator, the operating condition of the quantum computing device based on the operating parameter, and executes a second instance of the quantum service using the quantum simulator under the simulated operating condition, in parallel with execution of the first instance of the quantum service. The classical computing device obtains and records a first performance characteristic of the quantum computing device and a second performance characteristic of the quantum simulator.

  • Patent number: 11815557
    Abstract: An energy storage device (ESD) manager determines charge conditions that result in charge-related aging of an energy storage device (ESD), such as a battery, cell, or the like. The ESD manager may determine charge-related costs for charge operations, which may quantify charge-related aging imposed by subjecting ESD to specified charge conditions. The ESD manager may evaluate and/or modify charge operations to reduce charge-related aging. The ESD manager may be further configured to model charge-related aging behavior over time and/or under variable charge conditions. The ESD manager may configure charge operations to ensure that charge-related performance loss remains below a threshold for a specified usage duration.

  • Patent number: 11799302
    Abstract: The power conversion system includes a power conversion circuit, a power conversion control circuit including a charging control mode, and a command value generating part. The charging control mode is a mode in which the output voltage of the power conversion circuit is controlled so that an interconnection inductance receives an interconnection inductance voltage determined by the power supply voltage vector of the AC power supply and the voltage command value vector having a delay phase with respect to the power supply voltage vector and having a magnitude and a phase based on the command value. The command value generating part generates a second command value for operation of the charging control mode when the voltage of the storage battery falls below the over-discharge threshold.

  • Patent number: 11797827
    Abstract: Abstracting data that originates from different sensors and transducers using artificial neural networks. A method can include identifying topological patterns of activity in a recurrent artificial neural network and outputting a collection of digits. The topological patterns are responsive to an input, into the recurrent artificial neural network, of first data originating from a first sensor and second data originating from a second sensor. Each topological pattern abstracts a characteristic shared by the first data and the second data. The first and second sensors sense different data. Each digit represents whether one of the topological patterns of activity has been identified in the artificial neural network.

  • Patent number: 11756765
    Abstract: Methods for exposing a desired shape in an area on a surface using a charged particle beam system include determining a local pattern density for the area of the desired shape based on an original set of exposure information. A backscatter for a sub area is calculated, based on the original set of exposure information. Dosage for at least one pixel in a plurality of pixels in the sub area is increased, in a location where the backscatter of the sub area is below a pre-determined threshold, thereby increasing the backscatter of the sub area. A pre-PEC maximum dose is determined for the local pattern density, based on a pre-determined target post-PEC maximum dose. The original set of exposure information is modified with the pre-PEC maximum dose and the increased dosage of the at least one pixel in the sub area to create a modified set of exposure information.
