  • Publication number: 20230238266
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a substrate holder, a first actuator to rotate the substrate holder, a second actuator to move the substrate holder linearly, a first sensor to generate one or more first measurements or images of the substrate, a second sensor to generate one or more second measurements of target positions on the substrate, and a processing device. The processing device estimates a position of the substrate on the substrate holder and causes the first actuator to rotate the substrate holder about a first axis. The rotation causes an offset between a field of view of the second sensor and a target position on the substrate due to the substrate not being centered on the substrate holder. The processing device causes the second actuator to move the substrate holder linearly along a second axis to correct the offset. The processing device determines a profile across a surface of the substrate based on the one or more second measurements of the target positions.

  • Publication number: 20230236980
    Abstract: Disclosed are an on-demand shared data caching method, a computer program, and a computer readable medium applicable for distributed deep learning computing. The method includes a step of dynamically building a distributed shared memory cache space, in which a distributed shared memory deployment and data file access management module is added to a deep learning framework to build the distributed shared memory cache space by a memory set of a multiple of computing nodes of a cluster computer; and a distributed deep learning computing step, in which the computing node overrides a Dataset API of the deep learning framework to execute the distributed deep learning computing. When reading a data file, if the data file exists in the distributed shared memory cache space, then it will be accessed directly, or else it will be obtained from an original specified directory location and stored in the distributed shared memory cache space.
