This is achieved by introducing causality and passivity enforcement layers as the last two layers of the NN, while minimizing their computational overhead to the training and inference of the NN model. Proposed technique is demonstrated on learning the mapping from 13 dimensional geometrical parameters of a differential plated through hole (PTH) in package core to its corresponding broadband S-Parameters up to 100 GHz.","PeriodicalId":304228,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129275919","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We present two enhancements to the radiation calculations. The first is to use fast algorithms to accelerate the near-field and far-field calculations and the second is to correct the trace radiations by including the effect of the dielectric substrate. We demonstrate the accuracy and efficiency of these enhancements with three simulation examples.","PeriodicalId":304228,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124863960","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main concept of the proposed PIM-HBM architecture is to embed processing units into a logic base of high bandwidth memory (HBM) to decrease the energy consumption and latency of interconnections as the physical length between core and DRAM decreases. To verify the proposed PIM-HBM architecture, we designed on-chip and on-interposer I/O channels using a CMOS 0.18 µm process. We extracted channel parasitic using an electromagnetic (EM) solver and performed a SPICE simulation to compare the system performance of the proposed architecture with the conventional HBM. As a result, the performance of the proposed PIM-HBM architecture is successfully verified by reducing energy consumption and latency of interconnections by 77 % and 79 % compared to the conventional HBM system.","PeriodicalId":304228,"journal":{"name":"2019 IEEE 28th Conference on Electrical Performance of Electronic Packaging and Systems (EPEPS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114314207","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
