Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a fin structure. A source/drain region is formed on the fin structure. A first gate structure is disposed over the fin structure. A source/drain contact is disposed over the source/drain region. The source/drain contact has a protruding segment that protrudes at least partially over the first gate structure. The source/drain contact electrically couples together the source/drain region and the first gate structure.

Abstract: A method of performing automatic tuning on a deep learning model includes: utilizing an instruction-based learned cost model to estimate a first type of operational performance metrics based on a tuned configuration of layer fusion and tensor tiling; utilizing statistical data gathered during a compilation process of the deep learning model to determine a second type of operational performance metrics based on the tuned configuration of layer fusion and tensor tiling; performing an auto-tuning process to obtain a plurality of optimal configurations based on the first type of operational performance metrics and the second type of operational performance metrics; and configure the deep learning model according to one of the plurality of optimal configurations.
