Patent number: 11848362Abstract: Disclosed herein are IC structures, packages, and devices that include transistors, e.g., III-N transistors, having a source region, a drain region (together referred to as “source/drain” (S/D) regions), and a gate stack. In one aspect, a contact to at least one of the S/D regions of a transistor may have a width that is smaller than a width of the S/D region. In another aspect, a contact to a gate electrode material of the gate stack of a transistor may have a width that is smaller than a width of the gate electrode material. Reducing the width of contacts to S/D regions or gate electrode materials of a transistor may reduce the overlap area between various pairs of these contacts, which may, in turn, allow reducing the off-state capacitance of the transistor. Reducing the off-state capacitance of III-N transistors may advantageously allow increasing their switching frequency.Type: GrantFiled: April 18, 2019Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Rahul Ramaswamy, Nidhi Nidhi, Walid M.

Patent number: 11849013Abstract: Techniques for embedding fabric addressing information within Ethernet media access control (MAC) addresses is disclosed herein and allows a multi-node fabric having potentially millions of nodes to feature Ethernet encapsulation without the necessity of a lookup or map to translate MAC addresses to fabric-routable local identifiers (LIDs). In particular, a locally-administered MAC address may be encoded with fabric addressing information including a LID. Thus a node may exchange Ethernet packets using a multi-node fabric by encapsulating each Ethernet packet with a destination MAC address corresponding to an intended destination. As the destination MAC address may implicitly map to a LID of the multi-node fabric, the node may use an extracted LID value therefrom to address a fabric-routable packet. To this end, a node may introduce a fabric-routable packet encapsulating an Ethernet packet onto a multi-node fabric without necessarily performing a lookup to map a MAC address to a corresponding LID.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Hugh Wilkinson, James C.

The prioritization is based on timing and priority of the UL transmissions to determine which of the UL transmissions to transmit and which to cancel. Additional prioritization is based on reception by the UE of a cancelation index or in an additional overlapping high priority UL grant received in a DCI of a PDCCH that overlaps with at least one other PDCCH associated with the UL transmissions.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 2021Date of Patent: December 19, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Debdeep Chatterjee, Fatemeh Hamidi-Sepehr, Toufiqul Islam, Sergey Panteleev

Some embodiments are particularly directed to disabling one or more memory channels during a reduced power state by mapping memory usages during the reduced power state to one of a plurality of memory channels. In one embodiment, for example, one or more low-power mode blocks in a set of functional blocks of a computer may be identified. In some such embodiments, the computer may include a processor, a memory, and first and second memory channels to communicatively couple the processor with the second memory. In many embodiments, usage of the one or more low-power mode blocks in the set of functional blocks may be mapped to a first address range associated with the first memory channel.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 11, 2023Publication date: December 14, 2023Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: BINATA BHATTACHARYYA, PAUL S.

Patent number: 11842202Abstract: An apparatus and method are provided which take advantage of heterogeneous compute capability to dynamically pick the best operating core for BIOS power-up flows and sleep exit flows (e.g., S3, S4, and/or S5). The selection of the BSP is moved to an early power-up time instead of a fixed hardware selection at any time. For maximum boot performance, the system selects the fastest capable core as the BSP at an early power-up time. In addition, for maximum power saving, the system selects the most power efficient core as the BSP. Processor or switching for selecting the BSP happens during the boot-up as well as power-up flows (e.g., S3, S4, and/or S5 flows).Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2020Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Pannerkumar Rajagopal, Karunakara Kotary, Sean Dardis

Patent number: 11843691Abstract: Technologies for processing network packets by a host interface of a network interface controller (NIC) of a compute device. The host interface is configured to retrieve, by a symmetric multi-purpose (SMP) array of the host interface, a message from a message queue of the host interface and process, by a processor core of a plurality of processor cores of the SMP array, the message to identify a long-latency operation to be performed on at least a portion of a network packet associated with the message. The host interface is further configured to generate another message which includes an indication of the identified long-latency operation and a next step to be performed upon completion. Additionally, the host interface is configured to transmit the other message to a corresponding hardware unit scheduler as a function of the subsequent long-latency operation to be performed. Other embodiments are described herein.Type: GrantFiled: June 10, 2021Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Thomas E. Willis, Brad Burres, Amit Kumar

Patent number: 11842944Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) assembly comprising an IC die and a frame material that has been dispensed over the assembly substrate to be further adjacent to a perimeter edge of the IC die. The frame material may be selected to have flow properties that minimize slump, for example so a profile of a transverse cross-section through the frame material may retain convex curvature. The frame material may be cured following dispense, and upon application of a thermal interface material (TIM), the frame material may and act as a barrier, impeding flow of the TIM. The frame material may be compressed by force applied through an external thermal solution, such as a heat sink, to ensure good contact to the TIM.Type: GrantFiled: December 26, 2019Date of Patent: December 12, 2023Assignee: Intel CorporationInventors: Kyle Arrington, Frederick Atadana, Taylor Gaines, Minseok Ha
