  • Publication number: 20240125005
    Abstract: A method for crystal pulling is provided. The method includes the following. The method includes performing an equal-diameter process. The equal-diameter process is performed as follows. From the first equal-diameter stage to the third equal-diameter stage, the crystal rotation rate is gradually increased after starting at a first initial crystal rotation rate, and then is kept at a constant rotation rate after gradually increasing the crystal rotation rate. The crucible rotation rate is gradually increased from a first initial crucible rotation rate to a maximum crucible rotation rate after starting at the first initial crucible rotation rate in the first equal-diameter stage, the crucible rotation rate is kept at the maximum crucible rotation rate in the second equal-diameter stage, and the crucible rotation rate is gradually decreased after the second equal-diameter stage. The method further includes a cooling process.

  • Publication number: 20240094973
    Abstract: An electronic device determines its position in a spliced electronic device, and, based on the position, determines content that should be displayed, to avoid display disorder. In addition, the electronic device determines its position in the spliced electronic device based only on a connection status of an input end, or based on both a connection status of an input end and a control command from another electronic device, where the control command indicates a position of another electronic device in the spliced electronic device. Neither manual intervention nor participation of another device is required.

  • 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.
