Peripheral component interconnect (PCI) backplane connectivity system on chip (SoC)
An integrated circuit. The integrated circuit comprises an interconnect communication bus and a plurality of peripheral component interconnect (PCI) multi-function endpoints (MFN-EPs) coupled to the interconnect communication bus, each PCI MFN-EP comprising a multiplexing device, a first address translation unit (ATU), and at least one PCI function circuit, each PCI function circuit comprising another ATU and a plurality of base address registers (BARs).
SCALABLE 2.5D INTERFACE CIRCUITRY
A multichip package having a main die coupled to one or more daughter dies is provided. The main die may include embedded universal interface blocks (UIB) each of which can be used to interface with a corresponding daughter die to support high bandwidth parallel or serial communications. Each UIB may include an integrated processor subsystem and associated pattern sequencing logic to perform interface initialization and margining operations. Each UIB may perform simultaneous accesses to a daughter die across one or more channels. Each UIB may also include multiple phase-locked loop circuits for providing different clock signals to different portions of the UIB and a 2 clock phase generation logic. Each UIB may include multiple IO modules, each of which may optionally include its own duty cycle correction circuit. Each IO module may include buffer circuits, each of which may have a de-emphasis control logic for adjusting buffer drive strength.
ARRAY-BASED INFERENCE ENGINE FOR MACHINE LEARNING
An array-based inference engine includes a plurality of processing tiles arranged in a two-dimensional array of a plurality of rows and a plurality of columns. Each processing tile comprises at least one or more of an on-chip memory (OCM) configured to load and maintain data from the input data stream for local access by components in the processing tile and further configured to maintain and output result of the ML operation performed by the processing tile as an output data stream. The array includes a first processing unit (POD) configured to perform a dense and/or regular computation task of the ML operation on the data in the OCM. The array also includes a second processing unit/element (PE) configured to perform a sparse and/or irregular computation task of the ML operation on the data in the OCM and/or from the POD.
Bit string accumulation in memory array periphery
Bit string accumulation in a memory array periphery is described. Control circuitry (e.g., a processing device) may be utilized to control performance of operations using bit strings within a memory device. Results of the operations may be accumulated in circuitry peripheral to a memory array of the memory device. For instance, a plurality of sense amplifiers may be coupled to a memory array and a processing device. A quantity of sense amplifiers among the plurality of sense amplifiers can be the same as a quantity of rows or columns of the array. The processing device may be configured to cause performance of a recursive operation using one or more bit strings that are formatted according to a Type III universal number format or a posit format. The processing device may further be configured to cause resultant bit strings representing results of iterations of the recursive operation to be accumulated in the plurality of sense amplifiers.
