  • Patent number: 11973624
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to link training between network connected devices. In some examples, an amount to extend link training is determined. The amount to extend link training can be determined by: receiving, by a receiver in a first device, signals over a lane from a transmitter in a second device, the signals indicating capability to extend link training time and amount to extend link training time; determining, at the first device, a link training time based on a default link training time and an amount to extend link training time; and performing link training based on the determined link training time. In some examples, the determined amount is highest common denominator of the received identified capability and transmitted indicated capability. In some examples, if the received communication indicates no ability to extend link training time, the link training time is a default link training time.

  • Patent number: 11966281
    Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices for isolating a misbehaving accelerator circuit, such as an accelerator function unit or an accelerated function context, are provided. An integrated circuit may include a region that includes an accelerator circuit. When the accelerator circuit issues a request, another region of the integrated circuit or a processor connected to the integrated circuit may determine whether there is a misbehavior associated with the request and, in response to determining that there is a misbehavior associated with the request, may perform a misbehavior response to mitigate a negative impact of the misbehavior of the accelerator circuit.

    Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention are directed to dual threshold voltage (VT) channel devices and their methods of fabrication. In an example, a semiconductor device includes a gate stack disposed on a substrate, the substrate having a first lattice constant. A source region and a drain region are formed on opposite sides of the gate electrode. A channel region is disposed beneath the gate stack and between the source region and the drain region. The source region is disposed in a first recess having a first depth and the drain region disposed in a second recess having a second depth. The first recess is deeper than the second recess. A semiconductor material having a second lattice constant different than the first lattice constant is disposed in the first recess and the second recess.

  • Patent number: 11966286
    Abstract: A memory device that performs internal ECC (error checking and correction) can selectively return read data with application of the internal ECC or without application of the internal ECC, in response to different read commands from the memory controller. The memory device can normally apply ECC and return corrected data in response to a normal read command. In response to a retry command, the memory device can return the read data without application of the internal ECC.

  • Patent number: 11966330
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to processor circuitry to issue a cache coherence message to a central processing unit (CPU) cluster by selection of a target cluster and issuance of the request to the target cluster, wherein the target cluster comprises the cluster or the target cluster is directly connected to the cluster. In some examples, the selected target cluster is associated with a minimum number of die boundary traversals. In some examples, the processor circuitry is to read an address range for the cluster to identify the target cluster using a single range check over memory regions including local and remote clusters. In some examples, issuance of the cache coherence message to a cluster is to cause the cache coherence message to traverse one or more die interconnections to reach the target cluster.

  • Patent number: 11966998
    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a graphics processing apparatus that includes a memory device and a graphics processing unit (GPU). In some examples, the GPU is configured to execute a shader program that is to identify at least two code blocks that are independent from each other and cause execution of an unexecuted independent code block with available data based on use of a scoreboard to track data availability for independent code blocks. In some examples, execution of the shader program is to cause the GPU to select a first code block identifier for tracking completion of a dependency of the first independent code block. In some examples, execution of the shader program is to cause the GPU to identify an offset to a first instruction position in a sequence of instructions of the first independent code block in an instruction queue.

  • Patent number: 11966681
    Abstract: The computer executable instructions include a command that accepts multiple user input through various command options. The command encapsulates and implements multiple original software algorithms that convert trunking design intent, expressed via the command options, into trunks on multiple layers of a process technology node. Once executed, the command generates shapes of trunks of specified topology on specified layers. The command includes a set of options to generate a simple or complex trunking topology. The command accepts topology, set of zones, nets and many other options that the user provides to the command to yield trunks of a desired topology. The topology description is relative; thus, it can easily adjust as design changes. The command together with its options represents trunk creation intent.
