    Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for bonding a first wafer to a second wafer in the presence of a fluid, the viscosity of which is greater than a viscosity of air at standard ambient temperature and pressure. In an embodiment, a first surface of the first wafer is brought into close proximity to a second surface of the second wafer. The fluid is provided between the first surface and the second surface when a first region of the first surface is made to contact a second region of the second surface to form a bond. The viscosity of the fluid mitigates a rate of propagation of the bond along a wafer surface, which in turn mitigates wafer deformation and/or stress between wafers. In another embodiment, the viscosity of the fluid is changed dynamically while the bond propagates between the first surface and the second surface.

    Abstract: Described are mechanisms and methods for applying Machine Learning (ML) techniques for power management at different levels of a power management stack. An apparatus may comprise a first circuitry, a second circuitry, and a third circuitry. The first circuitry may have a plurality of memory registers. The second circuitry may be operable to establish values for a plurality of features based on samples of values of the plurality of memory registers taken at one or more times within a range of time of predetermined length. The third circuitry may be operable to compare the plurality of features against a plurality of learned parameters for a reference workload.
