Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed that map quantum circuits to physical qubits of a quantum computer. Techniques are disclosed to generate a graph that characterizes the physical qubits of the quantum computer and to compute the resource requirements of each circuit of the quantum circuits. For each circuit, the graph is searched for a subgraph that matches the resource requirements of the circuit, based on a density matrix. Physical qubits, defined by the matching subgraph, are then allocated to the logical qubits of the circuit.

Abstract: In accordance with described techniques for VLIW Dynamic Communication, an instruction that causes dynamic communication of data to at least one processing element of a very long instruction word (VLIW) machine is dispatched to a plurality of processing elements of the VLIW machine. A first count of data communications issued by the plurality of processing elements and a second count of data communications served by the plurality of processing elements are maintained. At least one additional instruction is determined for dispatch to the plurality of processing elements of the VLIW machine based on the first count and the second count. For example, an instruction that is independent of the instruction is determined for dispatch while the first count and the second count are unequal, and an instruction that is dependent on the instruction is determined for dispatch based on the first count and the second count being equal.

Abstract: VLIW directed Power Management is described. In accordance with described techniques, a program is compiled to generate instructions for execution by a very long instruction word machine. During the compiling, power configurations for the very long instruction word machine to execute the instructions are determined, and fields of the instructions are populated with the power configurations. In one or more implementations, an instruction that includes a power configuration for the very long instruction word machine and operations for execution by the very long instruction word machine is obtained. A power setting of the very long instruction word machine is adjusted based on the power configuration of the instruction, and the operations of the instruction are executed by the very long instruction word machine.

The controller provides chiplet-level performance information for the chiplets that identifies a performance of each chiplet at each of a plurality of performance levels for specified sets of processor cores on that chiplet.

The controller configures the specified number of processor cores of the one or more selected chiplets at the given performance level. A task is then run on the specified number of processor cores of the one or more selected chiplets at the given performance level.

Abstract: A processor distributes memory timing parameters and data among different memory modules based upon memory access patterns. The memory access patterns indicate different types, or classes, of data for an executing workload, with each class associated with different memory access characteristics, such as different row buffer hit rate levels, different frequencies of access, different criticalities, and the like. The processor assigns each memory module to a data class and sets the memory timing parameters for each memory module according to the module’s assigned data class, thereby tailoring the memory timing parameters for efficient access of the corresponding data.

Abstract: A processor sets memory timing parameters based on a profile of a workload to be executed at the processor and based on a thermal budget associated with the processor. For a given workload and amount of available thermal headroom, as indicated by a detected temperature, the processor adjusts one or more of the memory timing parameters according to the workload profile. The processor is thereby able to tailor the memory timing parameters according to the memory access behavior of the workload, improving overall processing efficiency.

Abstract: A processing unit includes compute units partitioned into one or islands that are provided with operating voltages and clock signals having clock frequencies independent of providing operating voltages or clock signals to other islands of compute units. The processing unit also includes dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) hardware configured to compute one or more numbers of active memory barriers in the one or more islands. The DVFS hardware is also configured to modify the operating voltages or clock frequencies provided to the one or more islands in response to a change in numbers of active memory barriers in the one or more islands. In some cases, the operating voltage or clock frequency provided to an island is increased in response to the number of active memory barriers in the island decreasing. The operating voltage or clock frequency provided to the island is decreased in response to the number of active memory barriers in the island increasing.
