Abstract: A system includes a compute circuit that preemptively performs a computation on a data word before receiving an indication of data errors from an error checking and correction (ECC) circuit. The ECC circuit reads the data word from a memory array and performs error detection and error correction on the data word. The compute circuit reads the data word and performs the computation on the data word to generate an output value, without waiting for the ECC circuit to check and correct the data word. In response to error detection in the data word by the ECC circuit, the compute circuit delays outputting the output value until correction of the output value in accordance with the error detection by the ECC circuit.

Abstract: Described is a controller that provides in-situ state retention using a closed loop global retention clamp. The controller addresses di/dt and reliability constraints using an adaptive scheme where steps with smaller current are quickly changed whereas steps with larger current are changed slowly. The loop controller of a voltage regulator is modified for controlling not only retention Vmin during a low power state (e.g., C1LP), but also to control fast wake up the low power state (e.g., from C1LP and from C6).

Abstract: An apparatus, vision processing unit, and method are provided for clustering motion events in a content addressable memory. A motion event is received including coordinates in an image frame that have experienced a change and a timestamp of the change. A determination is made as to whether determine whether there is a valid entry in the memory having coordinates within a predefined range of coordinates included in the motion event. In response to a determination that there is the valid entry having the coordinates within the predefined range of coordinates included in the motion event, write to the valid entry the coordinates and the timestamp in the motion event.

Abstract: Provided are a neuromorphic computing device, memory device, system, and method to maintain a spike history for neurons in a spiking neural network. A neural network spike history is generated in a memory device having an array of rows and columns of memory cells. There is one row of the rows for each of a plurality of neurons and columns for each of a plurality of time slots. Indication is made in a current column in the row of the memory cells for a firing neuron that a spike was fired. Indication is made in the current column in rows of memory cells of idle neurons that did not fire that a spike was not fired. Information in the array is used to determine a timing difference between a connected neuron and the firing neuron and to adjust a weight of the connecting synapse.

Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems associated with biasing a sleep transistor (also referred to as a power gate transistor) in an integrated circuit. The sleep transistor may be coupled between a load circuit and a power rail, the sleep transistor to be on in an active mode to provide the supply voltage to the load circuit, and to be off in a sleep mode to disconnect the load circuit from the power rail. The bias circuit may be coupled to the gate terminal of the sleep transistor to provide a calibrated gate voltage to the gate terminal during the sleep mode. The calibrated gate voltage may be based on a subthreshold leakage current and a gate-induced drain leakage (GIDL) current of the sleep transistor or a replica sleep transistor designed to replicate the leakage current of the sleep transistor. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems for a flip-flop circuit with low-leakage transistors. The flip-flop circuit may be coupled to a logic circuit of an integrated circuit to store data for the logic circuit when the logic circuit is in a sleep state. The flip-flop circuit may pass a data signal for the logic circuit along a signal path. A capacitor may be coupled between the signal path and ground to store a value of the data signal when the logic circuit is in the sleep state. A low-leakage transistor, such as an IGZO transistor, may be coupled between the capacitor and the signal path and may selectively turn on when the logic circuit transitions from the active state to the sleep state to store the value of the data signal in the capacitor. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
