  • Publication number: 20250077751
    Abstract: Methods, systems, and computer program products are described for generating synthesizable netlists from register transfer level (RTL) designs to aid with semiconductor device design. These netlists provide RTL design information corresponding to a portion of a semiconductor device. A configuration tracer generates behavior information associated with the RTL design. A register compiler compiles a set of semiconductor devices based on one or more technologies and power, performance, and area (PPA) information related to the semiconductor device. Semiconductor devices generated by the register compiler that meet predefined power, performance, and area conditions are identified. Structural information for aligning the input/output ports of the semiconductor device is generated.

  • Publication number: 20240412299
    Abstract: In an example embodiment, a deep machine learning model ranks cohorts of users as well as cohorts of products in a single ranking. When utilized to determine which cohort members to display to a user, the system selects one user cohort and one product cohort as the “best” (e.g., the top ranked user cohort and the top ranked product cohort). This ranking may be based on a number of contextual and non-contextual features, including viewer features (characteristics of the user operating the user interface), viewee features (characteristics of or related to the litem that the user is viewing, such as the characteristics of another user whose profile the user is viewing), and viewer-viewee relationship features (indications about how the viewer and viewee are related, such as common schools, locations, places of employment, etc.).
