Abstract

A computer-implemented method, system, and computer program product for testing hardware in an environment involving a checkstop. Errors are injected into a model of a design under test (DUT), which includes a first hardware component interfaced with a second hardware component, at various states causing an occurrence of a checkstop in the first hardware component. A simulation of the model of the DUT is then performed with the injected errors for a number of cycles after the checkstop based on a quiesce time where the injected errors are suppressed. Furthermore, a post-processing script is executed to test a model of the DUT which ignores the errors of the first hardware component that were identified after the checkstop in the simulation of the model of the DUT. Any non-ignored errors from the execution of the post-processing script are detected and analyzed to determine if the second hardware component failed the test.

Abstract

A top-down inspection system and method employs a strategy using specific geometric shaped metal alignment markers on a semiconductor die and a laminate that can be inspected using an IR camera. The metal alignment markers will align at room temperature to assess the die alignment prior to reflowing it. As silicon is transparent to IR wavelengths the system allows for the IR light to pass through the die to the laminate to see alignment features on the die and the laminate concurrently. The specific markers are placed in at least two separate locations preferably >0.5*die size apart. The robust alignment markers are substantially resistant to degradation caused by semiconductor device fabrication steps. The metal alignment markers can be small geometrical shapes to provide a more symmetrical signal which is more resistant to variability in prior processing steps than the standard marker design.

Described are techniques for identifying primary and foreign keys to build a schema. A primary key of a query table of a data lakehouse, which may consist of multiple columns, is identified. The top n-similar columns of the tables of the data lakehouse are then identified to identify the joinable tables using the primary key as a query using column embeddings. A list of candidate joinable tables is then identified based on the identified top n-similar columns of tables of the data lakehouse. Joinable tables from the list of candidate joinable tables are selected that satisfy an inclusion dependency constraint. The foreign keys having full containment with the primary key of the query table are then identified from the selected joinable tables. Such identified primary and foreign keys are utilized to build/discover the schema, such as a relational schema, of the data lakehouse.

Abstract

A computational device determines whether a generated system event in the computational device is a critical error or a non-critical error. In response to determining that the generated system event is a critical error caused by a first field-replaceable unit (FRU), the critical error is processed to initiate tasks that lead to replacement of the first FRU in the computational device to eliminate the critical error. In response to determining that the generated system event is a non-critical error caused by a second FRU, operations are performed to proactively reserve a substitute FRU to replace the second FRU to eliminate the non-critical error, in anticipation of the second FRU failing at a future time to cause another critical error.

A computer-implemented method and related system explore a combinatorial space. A combinatorial library and a desired output are identified. From the combinatorial library, an initial dataset is identified to be tested experimentally to create the combinatorial space. The following functions are iteratively performed: experimentally screening a set of diverse machine learning models (MLMs) using the initial data set or an augmented data set to produce experimental screening results; training the MLMs using the experimental screening results; selecting, from the MLMs, at least one MLM having a highest accuracy and performance; screening the combinatorial library; calculating a normalized similarity factor measured from top-ranked combinations; identifying, using the normalized similarity factor, an amount of the model-driven augmented data to be added to the top-ranked combinations; obtaining augmented data; and selecting the augmented data from the top-ranked combinations and the augmented combinatorial data. The iteration exits upon meeting an exit criterion.

Abstract

A method, system, and computer program product for augmenting a limited dataset with data to optimize an indicator value. A quantum model is trained on a quantum computer with a known dataset to identify the relationship between the feature vectors consisting of binary data and the associated objective variables. A quantum state of the quantum model is measured by the quantum computer by employing a quantum circuit to obtain a collection of observed bitstrings. Furthermore, index values are calculated by a classical computer based on the collection of observed bitstrings. An optimal indicator value is calculated by the classical computer based on the index values and the observed bitstrings. The data point that optimizes the indicator value is then identified by the quantum computer. The dataset is then updated by the classical computer with the identified data point and the best indicator value within the updated dataset is adjusted accordingly.

Abstract

An apparatus is provided for processing a digital signal for a digital-to-analog converter (“DAC”). The apparatus includes a monitoring component configured to monitor a sequence of samples of the digital signal for a predetermined pattern of signal values. Upon determining that the sequence of samples does include the predetermined pattern of signal values, then samples in the sequence of samples that include the predetermined pattern of signal values are sent to the DAC. Noise is injected into an interpolation component, and the noise is withheld from an output of the DAC.

Abstract

A computer-implemented method to decode and execute a memory command with partial frame data is provided. The computer-implemented method includes receiving the memory command during early cycles of a frame, the memory command being locatable in a template of the frame by reference to an opcode of the frame, sending the memory command to a command first-in-first-out (FIFO) unit as an unverified command once decoder logic decodes the memory command, prior to a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) and prior to arrival of full address bits of the frame in later cycles, entering the unverified command into a scheduling queue to allow for early bank activation, executing the CRC and confirming the unverified command as a verified command based on no errors being found during the CRC.
