Abstract: Aspects of a storage device are provided for efficient handling of logical metablock formation based on a heat distribution within the storage device. The storage device includes a plurality of memory dies each including a physical block, and a controller which forms a logical metablock from the physical blocks based on a location of each of the memory dies with respect to the controller. The controller stores a mapping of heat credit points to each of the physical blocks, where each of the heat credit points are associated with a respective heat level. The controller forms logical metablocks from the physical blocks based on the mapping. For instance, the controller forms different logical metablocks from physical blocks based on respective heat levels associated with memory dies including those blocks. As a result, efficient logical block formation may be achieved without significant complexity in firmware implementation.

Abstract: Techniques for operating on and calculating binary floating-point numbers using an enhanced floating-point number format are presented. The enhanced format can comprise a single sign bit, six bits for the exponent, and nine bits for the fraction. Using six bits for the exponent can provide an enhanced exponent range that facilitates desirably fast convergence of computing-intensive algorithms and low error rates for computing-intensive applications. The enhanced format can employ a specified definition for the lowest binade that enables the lowest binade to be used for zero and normal numbers; and a specified definition for the highest binade that enables it to be structured to have one data point used for a merged Not-a-Number (NaN)/infinity symbol and remaining data points used for finite numbers. The signs of zero and merged NaN/infinity can be “don't care” terms. The enhanced format employs only one rounding mode, which is for rounding toward nearest up.

Abstract: An integrated circuit assembly includes a support (e.g., package substrate or circuit board) and a semiconductor die including a device. The semiconductor die is mounted to the support with the device facing the support. The device can be, for example, a quantum well laser device or a photonics device. A layer of decoupling material is on the device. An underfill material is between the semiconductor die and the support, where the decoupling material is between the device and the underfill material. The decoupling layer decouples stress from transferring from the underfill material into the device. For example, the decoupling material forms only weak bonds with the underfill material and/or a passivation layer on the device, in an embodiment. Weak bonds include non-covalent bonds and non-ionic bonds, for example. The decoupling material can be, for instance, a PTFE film, a poly(p-xylylene) film, a fluorocarbon, or a compound lacking free hydroxyl groups.

Abstract: Logic may determine a specific performance of a neural network based on an event and may present the specific performance to provide a user with an explanation of the inference by a machine learning model such as a neural network. Logic may determine a first activation profile associated with the event, the first activation profile based on activation of nodes in one or more layers of the neural network during inference to generate an output. Logic may correlate the first activation profile against a second activation profile associated with a first training sample of training data. Logic may determine that the first training sample is associated with the event based on the correlation. Logic may output an indicator to identify the first training sample as being associated with the event.

In another embodiment, a cavity is formed in a PIC die, and curved mirrors are formed in the cavity. Light beams from waveguides in the PIC die are directed to the curved mirrors, which collimate the light beams.
