  • Patent number: 12271627
    Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficiently managing performance among multiple integrated circuits in separate semiconductor chips. In various implementations, a computing system includes at least a first processing node and a second processing node. While processing tasks, the first processing node accesses a first memory and the second processing node accesses a second memory. A first communication channel transfers data between the first and second processing nodes. The first processing node accesses the second memory using a second communication channel different from the first communication channel and supports point-to-point communication. The second memory services access requests from the first and second processing nodes as the access requests are received while foregoing access conflict detection. The first processing node accesses the second memory after a particular amount of time has elapsed after reception of an indication from the second processing node specifying that a particular task has begun.

  • Publication number: 20250111587
    Abstract: Devices and methods for rendering objects using ray tracing are provided which include during a build time: generating an accelerated hierarchy structure comprising data representing an approximate volume bounding a group of geometric shapes representing the objects in the scene and data representing the geometric shapes; and generating additional data used to transform rays, to be cast in the scene, from a high precision space to a low precision space; and during a render time occurring after the build time: performing ray intersection tests, using the additional data generated during the build time, for the rays in the scene; and rendering the scene based on the ray intersection tests. Because the additional data is generated prior to render time, the additional data can be used to perform the ray intersection testing more efficiently.

  • Patent number: 12265908
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for achieving higher cache hit rates for machine learning models are disclosed. When a processor executes a given layer of a machine learning model, the processor generates and stores activation data in a cache subsystem a forward or reverse manner. Typically, the entirety of the activation data does not fit in the cache subsystem. The processor records the order in which activation data is generated for the given layer. Next, when the processor initiates execution of a subsequent layer of the machine learning model, the processor processes the previous layer's activation data in a reverse order from how the activation data was generated. In this way, the processor alternates how the layers of the machine learning model process data by either starting from the front end or starting from the back end of the array.
