Abstract: Techniques and mechanisms for an integrated clock gate (ICG) to selectively output a clock signal, and to provide frequency division functionality. In an embodiment, an ICG circuit comprises first circuitry which is coupled to receive a first clock signal, and second circuitry which is coupled to receive a control signal. The first circuitry provides a single edge triggered flip-flop functionality, and is coupled to communicate a feedback signal which the first circuitry is further coupled to receive. Based on the control signal and the feedback signal, the second circuitry performs an exclusive OR (XOR) operation to selectively enable the first circuitry to generate a second clock signal based on the first clock signal. In another embodiment, a frequency of the second clock signal is substantially equal to one half of a frequency of the first clock signal.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a long short term memory (LSTM) circuit having a multiply accumulate circuit (MAC). The MAC circuit has circuitry to rely on a stored product term rather than explicitly perform a multiplication operation to determine the product term if an accumulation of differences between consecutive, preceding input values has not reached a threshold.

Abstract: A fast Mux-D scan flip-flop is provided, which bypasses a scan multiplexer to a master keeper side path, removing delay overhead of a traditional Mux-D scan topology. The design is compatible with simple scan methodology of Mux-D scan, while preserving smaller area and small number of inputs/outputs. Since scan Mux is not in the forward critical path, circuit topology has similar high performance as level-sensitive scan flip-flop and can be easily converted into bare pass-gate version. The new fast Mux-D scan flip-flop combines the advantages of the conventional LSSD and Mux-D scan flip-flop, without the disadvantages of each.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods of implementing an analog neural network using a pipelined SRAM architecture (“PISA”) circuitry disposed in on-chip processor memory circuitry. The on-chip processor memory circuitry may include processor last level cache (LLC) circuitry. One or more physical parameters, such as a stored charge or voltage, may be used to permit the generation of an in-memory analog output using a SRAM array. The generation of an in-memory analog output using only word-line and bit-line capabilities beneficially increases the computational density of the PISA circuit without increasing power requirements. Thus, the systems and methods described herein beneficially leverage the existing capabilities of on-chip SRAM processor memory circuitry to perform a relatively large number of analog vector/tensor calculations associated with execution of a neural network, such as a recurrent neural network, without burdening the processor circuitry and without significant impact to the processor power requirements.

Abstract: A memory circuit has compute-in-memory (CIM) circuitry that performs computations based on time-to-digital conversion (TDC). The memory circuit includes an array of memory cells addressable with column address and row address. The memory circuit includes CIM sense circuitry to sense a voltage for multiple memory cells triggered together. The CIM sense circuitry including a TDC circuit to convert a time for discharge of the multiple memory cells to a digital value. A processing circuit determines a value of the multiple memory cells based on the digital value.

Abstract: An apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a compute in memory circuit. The compute in memory circuit includes a memory circuit and an encoder. The memory circuit is to provide 2m voltage levels on a read data line where m is greater than 1. The memory circuit includes storage cells sufficient to store a number of bits n where n is greater than m. The encoder is to receive an m bit input and convert the m bit input into an n bit word that is to be stored in the memory circuit, where, the m bit to n bit encoding performed by the encoder creates greater separation between those of the voltage levels that demonstrate wider voltage distributions on the read data line than others of the voltage levels.
