Contrary to what is stated in this article, the cited patent does not refer to AMD CPUs, but to the accelerator present in RDNA3.

wccftech.com/amd-cpu-patent… In patent writing it is good practice to avoid unnecessarily extending the explanation of likely application of the invention and to focus on explaining the innovation that is desired to be patented. In the case of the cited patent, this fact occurs.

About Intel Ocean Cove: Since the beginning of 2018, I had been following the work of the Hillsboro team, looking forward to have access to the first patent of the disruptive new architecture that was being developed... And in 2019, this patent was finally published. Upon analyzing it, I was absolutely shocked by what I saw and was certain that this patent would never be granted in the state in which it was presented. However, yesterday I received notification that this patent had been granted.

Things I was doing while I was recovering from ear infection: Studying the proposed 3D SRAM structure which Intel will use in its future processors together with its 20A node... This is the 3D nanoribbon-based 6T SRAM cell proposal

In this paper, researchers have presented AfterImage, a new side-channel that exploits the Intel Instruction Pointer-based stride prefetcher.

arxiv.org/pdf/2109.00474… By reverse-engineering the ip-stride prefetcher in modern intel processors, the researchers have successfully developed three variants of AfterImage to leak control flow information across code regions, processes and the user-kernel boundary.

Here's the AMD patent list that I had promised you, bringing several new developments including GPU, CPU, memory and more.

In this paper, Intel researchers is presented C-for-Metal, an explicit SIMD programming framework designed to deliver close-to-the-metal performance on Intel GPUs.

arxiv.org/pdf/2101.11049… The experimental results show that CM applications from different domains outperform the best-known SIMT-based OpenCL implementations, achieving up to 2.7x speedup on the latest Intel GPU.

In this paper is presented PyTorch-Direct, a GPU-centric data access paradigm with a novel circular shift indexing optimization for GNN training to reduce training time, CPU utilization, and power consumption. #PyTorch #DeepLearning

arxiv.org/pdf/2101.07956… PyTorch-Direct presents a new class of tensor called “unified tensor.” While a unified tensor resides in host memory, its elements can be accessed directly by the GPUs, as if they reside in GPU memory.

Researchers have proposed a new class of accelerators named Self Adaptive Reconfigurable Arrays, which comprise of both a reconfigurable array and a hardware unit capable of determining an optimized configuration for the array at runtime.

arxiv.org/pdf/2101.04799… Also, it's proposed a neural network called ADAPTNET which recommends an array configuration and dataflow for the current layer parameters.

An integrated custom hardware ADAPTNETX runs ADAPTNET at runtime and reconfigures the array, making the entire accelerator self sufficient.

Here is the first list of AMD patents in 2021. Together with this list, I am preparing some articles (yes, there will be several articles) to give a due analysis to the set presented here until the end of this month. Stay tuned!
