Abstract: According to some embodiments, methods and systems may be associated with an integration computing environment for an enterprise. An integration modeling design platform may receive, from an integration developer via a modeling notation, an indication that a retry component should be associated with an integration task. The integration modeling design platform may then configure the retry component for the integration task in connection with at least one of an integration adapter and an integration component (e.g., a selection of a messaging component, a quality of service, a retry period, an exponential back off option, etc.). According to some embodiments, an integration generation framework, coupled to the integration modeling design platform, may automatically construct an appropriate runtime retry representation based on the configured retry component (e.g., by creating a domain-specific language software component).

Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes a substrate, a flip chip die, and a capacitor. The flip chip die is attached to the substrate via die-to-substrate interconnects. The capacitor is attached to the flip chip die via capacitor-to-die interconnects so that the capacitor occupies a region between the flip chip die and the substrate. Such placement of the capacitor on a flip chip die has the advantage of reducing the distance between the capacitor and its core, thereby reducing unwanted line inductance and series resistance effects. Integrated circuit performance is thereby enhanced.

Abstract: A sense amplifier enable signal and a tracking signal are generated in response to an indication that a sufficient voltage difference has developed across bit lines of a memory. The sense amplifier enable signal has a pulse width between a leading edge and a trailing edge. The sense amplifier enable signal is propagated along a first U-turn signal line that extends parallel to rows of the memory array and is coupled to sense amplifiers arranged in a row to generate a sense amplifier enable return signal. The tracking signal is propagated along a second U-turn signal line extending parallel to columns of the memory array to generate a tracking return signal. The sense amplifier enable return signal and the tracking return signal are logically combined to generate a reset signal. Timing of the trailing edge of the pulse width is controlled by the reset signal.
