  • Publication number: 20240007087
    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for an integrated clock gate (ICG) to selectively output a clock signal, and to provide frequency division functionality. In an embodiment, an ICG circuit comprises first circuitry which is coupled to receive a first clock signal, and second circuitry which is coupled to receive a control signal. The first circuitry provides a single edge triggered flip-flop functionality, and is coupled to communicate a feedback signal which the first circuitry is further coupled to receive. Based on the control signal and the feedback signal, the second circuitry performs an exclusive OR (XOR) operation to selectively enable the first circuitry to generate a second clock signal based on the first clock signal. In another embodiment, a frequency of the second clock signal is substantially equal to one half of a frequency of the first clock signal.

  • Publication number: 20230395506
    Abstract: Adjacent interconnect features are in staggered, vertically spaced positions, which accordingly reduces their capacitive coupling within a level of interconnect metallization. Adjacent interconnect features may comprise a plurality of first interconnect lines with spaces therebetween. A dielectric material is over the first interconnect lines and within the spaces between the first interconnect lines. Resultant topography in the dielectric material defines a plurality of trenches between the first interconnect lines. The adjacent interconnect features further comprise a plurality of second interconnect lines interdigitated with the first interconnect lines that occupy at least a portion of the trenches between individual ones of the first interconnect lines.

  • Publication number: 20230376274
    Abstract: A fused dot-product multiply-accumulate (MAC) circuit may support variable precisions of floating-point data elements to perform computations (e.g., MAC operations) in deep learning operations. An operation mode of the circuit may be selected based on the precision of an input element. The operation mode may be a FP16 mode or a FP8 mode. In the FP8 mode, product exponents may be computed based on exponents of floating-point input elements. A maximum exponent may be selected from the one or more product exponents. A global maximum exponent may be selected from a plurality of maximum exponents. A product mantissa may be computed and aligned with another product mantissa based on a difference between the global maximum exponent and a corresponding maximum exponent. An adder tree may accumulate the aligned product mantissas and compute a partial sum mantissa. The partial sum mantissa may be normalized using the global maximum exponent.

  • Publication number: 20220188075
    Abstract: A FPMAC operation has two operands: an input operand and a weight operand. The operands may have a format of FP16, BF16, or INT8. Each operand is split into two portions. The two portions are stored in separate storage units. Then operands are transferred to register files of a PE, with each register file storing bits of an operand sequentially. The PE performs the FPMAC operation based on the operands. The PE may include an FPMAC unit configured to compute an individual partial sum of the PE. The PE may also include an FP adder to accumulate the individual partial sum with other data, such as an output from another PE or an output form another PE array. The FP adder may be fused with the FPMAC unit in a single circuit that can do speculative alignment and has separate critical paths for alignment and normalization.

  • Patent number: 11288040
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for technology that conduct a first alignment between a plurality of floating-point numbers based on a first subset of exponent bits. The technology may also conduct, at least partially in parallel with the first alignment, a second alignment between the plurality of floating-point numbers based on a second subset of exponent bits, where the first subset of exponent bits are LSBs and the second subset of exponent bits are MSBs. In one example, technology adds the aligned plurality of floating-point numbers to one another. With regard to the second alignment, the technology may also identify individual exponents of a plurality of floating-point numbers, identify a maximum exponent across the individual exponents, and conduct a subtraction of the individual exponents from the maximum exponent, where the subtraction is conducted from MSB to LSB.
