    Abstract: A system of interconnected chips comprising a multi-chip module (MCM) includes a first processor chip, a graphics processing cluster (GPC) chip, and an MCM package configured to include the first processor chip, the GPC chip, and an interconnect circuit. The first processor chip is configured to include a first ground-referenced single-ended signaling interface circuit. A first set of electrical traces fabricated within the MCM package and configured to couple the first single-ended signaling interface circuit to the interconnect circuit. The GPC chip is configured to include a second single-ended signaling interface circuit and to execute shader programs. A second set of electrical traces fabricated within the MCM package and configured to couple the second single-ended signaling interface circuit to the interconnect circuit. In one embodiment, each single-ended signaling interface advantageously implements ground-referenced single-ended signaling.

    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for technique for capturing and storing a level of an input signal using a dual-trigger low-energy flip-flop circuit that is fully-static and insensitive to fabrication process variations. The dual-trigger low-energy flip-flop circuit presents only three transistor gate loads to the clock signal and none of the internal nodes toggle when the input signal remains constant. One of the clock signals may be a low-frequency “keeper clock” that toggles less frequently than the other two clock signal that is input to two transistor gates. The output signal Q is set or reset at the rising clock edge using separate trigger sub-circuits. Either the set or reset may be armed while the clock signal is low, and the set or reset is triggered at the rising edge of the clock.

    Abstract: A method, computer readable medium, and processor are disclosed for performing matrix multiply and accumulate (MMA) operations. The processor includes a datapath configured to execute the MMA operation to generate a plurality of elements of a result matrix at an output of the datapath. Each element of the result matrix is generated by calculating at least one dot product of corresponding pairs of vectors associated with matrix operands specified in an instruction for the MMA operation. A dot product operation includes the steps of: generating a plurality of partial products by multiplying each element of a first vector with a corresponding element of a second vector; aligning the plurality of partial products based on the exponents associated with each element of the first vector and each element of the second vector; and accumulating the plurality of aligned partial products into a result queue utilizing at least one adder.

    Abstract: Unavoidable physical phenomena, such as an alpha particle strikes, can cause soft errors in integrated circuits. Materials that emit alpha particles are ubiquitous, and higher energy cosmic particles penetrate the atmosphere and also cause soft errors. Some soft errors have no consequence, but others can cause an integrated circuit to malfunction. In some applications (e.g. driverless cars), proper operation of integrated circuits is critical to human life and safety. To minimize or eliminate the likelihood of a soft error becoming a serious malfunction, detailed assessment of individual potential soft errors and subsequent processor behavior is necessary. Embodiments of the present disclosure facilitate emulating a plurality of different, specific soft errors. Resilience may be assessed over the plurality of soft errors and application code may be advantageously engineered to improve resilience. Normal processor execution is halted to inject a given state error through a scan chain, and execution is subsequently resumed.
