  • Publication number: 20240086719
    Abstract: A computing system including a plurality of processing devices configured to execute a Mixture-of-Experts (MoE) layer. The processing devices are configured to execute the MoE layer at least in part by receiving an input tensor including input tokens. Executing the MoE layer further includes computing a gating function output vector based on the input tensor and computing a sparse encoding of the input tensor and the gating function output vector. The sparse encoding indicates one or more destination expert sub-models. Executing the MoE layer further includes dispatching the input tensor for processing at the one or more destination expert sub-models, and further includes computing an expert output tensor. Executing the MoE layer further includes computing an MoE layer output at least in part by computing a sparse decoding of the expert output tensor. Executing the MoE layer further includes conveying the MoE layer output to an additional computing process.

  • Publication number: 20140030956
    Abstract: A polishing method includes positioning two substrates in contact with the same polishing pad. Prior to commencement of polishing and while the two substrates are in contact with the polishing pad, two starting values are generated from an in-situ monitoring system. Either a starting polishing time or a pressure applied to one of the substrates can be adjusted so that the two substrates have closer endpoint conditions. During polishing the two substrates are monitored with the in-situ monitoring system to generate a two sequences of values, and a polishing endpoint can be detected or an adjustment for a polishing parameter can be based on the two sequences of values.

  • Publication number: 20090061617
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the removal of a deposited conductive layer along an edge of a substrate using a power ring configured to electro polish an edge of the substrate are provided. The electro polishing of the substrate edge may occur simultaneously with the electrochemical mechanical processing of a substrate face. In certain embodiments a method of electrochemically polishing a substrate having a conductive material disposed thereon is provided. A substrate is coupled with a carrier head comprising a power ring which surrounds an edge of the substrate, wherein the edge of the substrate includes the conductive material. A polishing pad is contacted with a face of the substrate. A first voltage is applied to the power ring to remove conductive material from the edge of the substrate. A second voltage different from the first voltage is applied to the polishing pad to remove a portion of the conductive material from the face of the substrate.
