Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to filtering messages. A computer system may detect an occurrence of an event of a particular type. The computer system may determine whether to enqueue, in a message queue, a message that identifies a set of tasks to be performed in relation to the event. The determination may be based on a response received from a cache that stores a subset of filter rules of a filter rules table. Based on the response indicating a cache miss, the computer system may enqueue the message in the message queue. A process that processes the message may be operable to resolve the cache miss by 1) accessing a filter rule from the filter rules table that indicates whether messages for events of the particular type should be enqueued in the message queue and 2) updating the cache to store the filter rule.

Abstract: Structures and techniques provide bond enhancement in microelectronics by trapping contaminants and byproducts during bonding processes, and arresting cracks. Example bonding surfaces are provided with recesses, sinks, traps, or cavities to capture small particles and gaseous byproducts of bonding that would otherwise create detrimental voids between microscale surfaces being joined, and to arrest cracks. Such random voids would compromise bond integrity and electrical conductivity of interconnects being bonded. In example systems, a predesigned recess space or predesigned pattern of recesses placed in the bonding interface captures particles and gases, reducing the formation of random voids, thereby improving and protecting the bond as it forms. The recess space or pattern of recesses may be placed where particles collect on the bonding surface, through example methods of determining where mobilized particles move during bond wave propagation.
