Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed to implement an endpoint command invocation system (“ECIS”). In some embodiments, ECIS can quickly dispatch a command to a large number of endpoint components, where the endpoint components are online. ECIS can receive an invocation of a command, which can include the command recipients.

ECIS can deliver the command to the online command recipients using the connections. ECIS can also deliver the command to dispatch queues corresponding to the offline command recipients, where the dispatch queues store the command as a pending command that can be delivered to their respective command recipients whenever they come online.

Abstract: The present disclosure generally relates to determining a process condition in a semiconductor process using attribute-relative process conditions. An example is a method of forming an integrated circuit (IC). First and second historical process conditions are obtained. The first historical process conditions are of previous semiconductor processing corresponding to a target value of a process attribute for forming the IC, and the second historical process conditions are of previous semiconductor processing corresponding to variable values of the process attribute. Attribute-relative process conditions are calculated. Each attribute-relative process condition is based on the first historical process conditions and the second historical process conditions that correspond to a respective given value of the variable values. An average process condition is determined from a subset of the attribute-relative process conditions.
