A 57.3-fps 12.8 TFLOPS/W Text-to-Motion Processor With Inter-Iteration Output Sparsity and Inter-Frame Joint Similarity 150 150

Abstract:

Recently, 3-D human motion generation has become essential in media applications such as film production and augmented reality (AR)/virtual reality (VR) devices, requiring the generation of human joint movements and detailed 3-D meshes for each joint. Traditionally, joint creation required hours or even days, making it impractical for real-time …

SHINSAI: A 586 mm2 Reusable Active TSV Interposer With Programmable Interconnect Fabric and 512 Mb Underdeck Memory

SHINSAI: A 586 mm2 Reusable Active TSV Interposer With Programmable Interconnect Fabric and 512 Mb Underdeck Memory 150 150

Abstract:

This article presents SHINSAI—a 586 mm2 reusable active through-silicon via (TSV) interposer addressing key challenges in multi-chiplet integration (MCI) architectures. While active interposers overcome fundamental limitations of passive counterparts by integrating functional circuitry, existing solutions face three critical constraints: 1) non-recurring engineering (NRE) costs from application-specific interposers negating chiplet reuse benefits; 2) …

3-D Stacked HBM and Compute Accelerators for LLM: Optimizing Thermal Management and Power Delivery Efficiency

3-D Stacked HBM and Compute Accelerators for LLM: Optimizing Thermal Management and Power Delivery Efficiency 150 150

Abstract:

Advanced packaging is becoming essential for designing hardware accelerators for large language models (LLMs). Different architectures, such as 2.5-D integration of memory with logic, have been proposed; however, the bandwidth limits the throughput of the complete system. Recent works have proposed memory on logic systems, where high bandwidth memory (HBM) …

Two 7–13-GHz GaAs-SiGe Four–Channel Beamforming Chiplets With/Without Metallic Interlayer Shields

Two 7–13-GHz GaAs-SiGe Four–Channel Beamforming Chiplets With/Without Metallic Interlayer Shields 150 150

Abstract:

This letter presents two 7–13-GHz GaAs-SiGe four-channel beamforming chiplets to minimize the chip area. The chips integrate GaAs-based power amplifiers (PAs) and low-noise amplifiers (LNAs) with silicon-based phase and amplitude control modules using gold bumps. To mitigate coupling between the metal patterns of the heterogeneous chips and avoid interference with …
