    Abstract: A semiconductor assembly is described that includes a substrate having top and bottom sides. An integrated circuit die coupled to the substrate includes first and second distinct sets of ground pads. In some embodiments, the first and second sets of ground pads are configured to have distinct ground return paths to a host system. In further embodiments, one of the ground return paths may include a metal plate coupled between ground contacts on the top side of the substrate and ground contacts on a printed circuit board of the host system.

    Abstract: Solutions improving efficiency of Softmax computation applied for efficient deep learning inference in transformers and other neural networks. The solutions utilize a reduced-precision implementation of various operations in Softmax, replacing ex with 2x to reduce instruction overhead associated with computing ex, and replacing floating point max computation with integer max computation. Further described is a scalable implementation that decomposes Softmax into UnNormalized Softmax and Normalization operations.

    Abstract: An augmented reality display system includes a first beam path for a foveal inset image on a holographic optical element, a second beam path for a peripheral display image on the holographic optical element, and pupil position tracking logic that generates control signals to set a position of the foveal inset as perceived through the holographic optical element, to determine the peripheral display image, and to control a moveable stage.

    Abstract: A die package is disclosed through which power domains within the chip may be isolated by removing vias within the package substrate, rather than power gating. Multiple substrate options may be configured without specific vias. This eliminates the need to design power gating circuitry into the die, freeing up that die area for more functional logic. The solution allows the die package to retain the same pinout for use by PCB designers, regardless of which power domains are gated.
