    Abstract: A three dimensional circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a core logic region that has first memory circuits and logic circuits. The three dimensional circuit system includes a second integrated circuit die that has second memory circuits. The first and second integrated circuit dies are coupled together in a vertically stacked configuration. The three dimensional circuit system includes third memory circuits coupled to the first integrated circuit die. The third memory circuits reside in a plane of the first integrated circuit die. The logic circuits are coupled to access the first, second, and third memory circuits and data can move between the first, second, and third memories. The third memory circuits have a larger memory capacity and a smaller memory access bandwidth than the second memory circuits. The second memory circuits have a larger memory capacity and a smaller memory access bandwidth than the first memory circuits.

    Abstract: An integrated circuit package includes a memory integrated circuit die and a coprocessor integrated circuit die that is coupled to the memory integrated circuit die. The coprocessor integrated circuit die has a logic sector that is configured to accelerate a function for a host processor. The logic sector generates an intermediate result of a computation performed as part of the function. The intermediate result is transmitted to and stored in the memory integrated circuit die.

    Abstract: A system may include a host processor, an interposer having memory elements, a coprocessor mounted on the interposer for accelerating tasks received from the host processor, and an auxiliary chip. The coprocessor, interposer, and auxiliary chip may be part of an integrated circuit package. The memory elements on the interposer may convey configuration bit streams to one or more logic sectors in programmable circuitry of the coprocessor. The interposer may be connected to a package substrate of the integrated circuit package using through-silicon vias, such that an active surface of the interposer faces an active surface of the coprocessor. Each logic sector may include one or more data registers that are loaded with configuration data from the memory elements. In some instances, the auxiliary chip may include a secondary memory for storing additional configuration bit streams for configuring the logic sectors of the coprocessor.

    Abstract: A smart network interface controller (NIC) implemented using a stacked die configuration is provided. The NIC may include user-customizable networking circuits formed in a top programmable die and primitive network function blocks formed in a bottom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) die. The top programmable die may provide a flexible packet processing pipeline to facilitate efficient control and data communication between the user-customizable networking circuits and the primitive network function blocks. The bottom ASIC die may also include an array of memory blocks operable as lookup tables and intermediate buffers for other network processing circuitry in the NIC. A NIC configured in this way provides both performance, power, and area benefits and superior customer configurability.

    Abstract: A method is provided for removing heat from an integrated circuit package. Fluid coolant is provided from a fluid inlet of a fluid routing device through channels in the fluid routing device to absorb heat generated by first and second integrated circuit dies in the integrated circuit package. The fluid routing device is mounted on a surface of each of the first and second integrated circuit dies. The fluid coolant is provided from the channels to a fluid outlet of the fluid routing device. A flow of the fluid coolant through the fluid routing device is adjusted to reduce a temperature of the first integrated circuit die in response to an increase in a workload of the first integrated circuit die.

    Abstract: A circuit system includes a first integrated circuit die having a first group of circuits configured to perform a first set of operations. The circuit system also includes a second integrated circuit die having a second group of circuits configured to start performing a second set of operations with a delay after the first group of circuits starts performing the first set of operations to reduce power supply voltage droop. The operations performed by the first and second groups of circuits can be interleaved with a fixed or a variable delay. Logic circuits can be partitioned into the first and the second groups of circuits based on predicted switching activity of the logic circuits. Decoupling capacitors in integrated circuit dies can be coupled together to reduce droop in a supply voltage during a high current event.
