    Abstract: Fin smoothing, and integrated circuit structures resulting therefrom, are described. For example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin having a protruding fin portion above an isolation structure, the protruding fin portion having substantially vertical sidewalls. The semiconductor fin further includes a sub-fin portion within an opening in the isolation structure, the sub-fin portion having a different semiconductor material than the protruding fin portion. The sub-fin portion has a width greater than or less than a width of the protruding portion where the sub-fin portion meets the protruding portion. A gate stack is over and conformal with the protruding fin portion of the semiconductor fin. A first source or drain region at a first side of the gate stack, and a second source or drain region at a second side of the gate stack opposite the first side of the gate stack.

    Abstract: Programmable spatial array processing circuitry may be programmable to perform multiple different types of matrix decompositions. The programmable spatial array processing circuitry may include an array of processing elements. When programmed with a first instructions, the array performs a first type of matrix decomposition. When programmed with second instructions, the array performs a second type of matrix decomposition. Individual processing elements of the programmable spatial array processing circuitry may avoid having individual instruction memories. Instead, there may be an instruction memory that provides a portion of the first instructions or a portion of the second instructions sequentially to one processing element of a row of processing elements to sequentially propagate to other processing elements of the row of processing elements.

    Abstract: For example, a current consumption adjuster may be configured to adjust a current consumption from a power supply of an integrated circuit. For example, the current consumption adjuster may include a controllable load circuitry to controllably apply one or more loads to the power supply of the integrated circuit. For example, the current consumption adjuster may include a controller configured to identify a current consumption event including a transition of a current consumption of the integrated circuit from the power supply. For example, the controller may be configured to control activation of the controllable load circuitry to apply an event-based load to the power supply, for example, based on the current consumption event.

    Abstract: Key-value (KV) cache paging schemes can improve memory management for KV caches by storing a KV cache page having key tensors and value tensors for a fixed number of tokens in a fixed-sized block in the KV cache of a worker. To further improve memory management, the schemes can be modified to implement dynamic variable quantization. Quantization level of a KV cache page can be set based on a runtime importance score of the KV cache page. In addition, the quantization level of the KV cache page can be set based on the system load. The end result is a scheme that can achieve a high compression ratio of KV cache pages in the KV cache. Fitting more KV cache pages in the KV cache can lead to higher inference throughput, higher system-level user capacity, and higher end-to-end service availability.

    Abstract: Self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with vertical sidewalls, and methods of fabricating self-aligned gate endcap (SAGE) architectures with vertical sidewalls, are described. In an example, an integrated circuit structure includes a semiconductor fin having sidewalls along a length of the semiconductor fin, each sidewall tapering outwardly from a top of the semiconductor fin toward a bottom of the semiconductor fin. A gate endcap isolation structure is spaced apart from the semiconductor fin and has a length parallel with the length of the semiconductor fin. The gate endcap isolation structure has a substantially vertical sidewall laterally facing one of the outwardly tapering sidewalls of the semiconductor fin.

    Abstract: Integrated circuit (IC) packages having a through-via interposer with an embedded die, as well as related structures, devices, and methods, are disclosed herein. For example, in some embodiments, an IC package may include a through-via interposer with an embedded die, the through-via connections having front to back conductivity. In some embodiments, a die may be disposed on the back side of an IC package having a through-via interposer with an embedded die and may be electrically coupled to the embedded die. In some embodiments, a second IC package in a package-on-package (PoP) arrangement may be disposed on the back side of an IC package having a through-via interposer with an embedded die and may be electrically coupled to the conductive vias.
