Publication number: 20260065080Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device may implement a deep neural network (DNN). The IC device may be a three-dimensional (3D) integrated system that includes a memory die and logic die. The memory die may include memory blocks, such as sequential random-access memory blocks or a sequential read-only memory blocks. The logic die may include an interface unit, a vector operation unit, compute units (e.g., multiply-accumulate units), and an interconnect fabric with adders. The interface unit may receive the input of the DNN and transfer the input to the vector operation unit. The vector operation unit may perform one or more vector operations of the DNN based on the input. The compute units and adders may perform matrix multiplication operations of the DNN based on the vector operation unit's output. Each memory block may be coupled with a compute unit through a via.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 6, 2025Publication date: March 5, 2026Applicant: Intel CorporationInventors: Yaron Klein, Yuval Vered, Yoni Elron, Ashley Munch, John Crouter, Carleton L.

Publication number: 20250390553Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) device may implement a neural network model. The IC device may include integrated cells for performing matrix multiplication (MatMul) operations in the model. An integrated cell may include a sequential read-only memory (ROM) cell, multipliers, and adder. The sequential ROM cell may store weights. The multiplier may multiply the weights with activations. The adders may sum the products. The integrated cells may also include counters, which control weight fetching from sequential ROM cells to the multipliers, or multiplexers, which select and distribute appropriate activations to multipliers. The integrated cells may execute a MatMul operation through multiple clock cycles. The MatMul operation may be decomposed based on sizes of the weight matrix or activation matrix and features of the integrated cell array. The integrated cells may perform a part of the MatMul operation in each clock cycle. The integrated cells may be coupled with add units.Type: ApplicationFiled: September 12, 2025Publication date: December 25, 2025Inventors: Yaron Klein, John Crouter, Yuval Vered, Urmi Pandya, Carleton L. Molnar
