Self healing compute array
Abstract:
This disclosure pertains to hardware compute arrays (sometimes called systolic arrays) for applications such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), digital signal processing (DSP), graphics processing units (GPUs), and other computationally intensive applications. More particularly, it pertains to novel and advantageous architecture innovations for efficiently and inexpensively implementing such arrays using multiple integrated circuits. Hardware and methods are disclosed to allow compute arrays to be tested after face-to-face or wafer-to-wafer bonding and without out any pre-bonding test. Defects discovered in the post-bonding testing can be completely or partially healed increasing yields and reducing costs.
