1. 3-D Stacked HBM and Compute Accelerators for LLM: Optimizing Thermal Management and Power Delivery Efficiency
By Janak Sharda, Madison Manley, Jungyoun Kwak, Chinsung Park, Muhannad Bakir, and Shimeng Yu

An open-access study exploring 3-D integration of High Bandwidth Memory (HBM) on logic dies for LLM accelerators. It proposes hybrid memory configurations, disaggregated power TSV clusters, and active backside power delivery networks (BSPDN) to overcome severe thermal resistance and IR drop bottlenecks, achieving a 4x throughput boost over 2.5-D integrated systems.

2. Beyond Backside Power: Backside Signal Routing as Technology Booster for Standard-Cell Scaling
By Anup Ashok Kedilaya, Sirish Oruganti, Nishant Gupta, Xiuhao Zhang, Ilya Karpov, and Mark A. Anders

This paper extends backside metal (BSM) networks beyond power delivery to clock and signal routing using ultrafine-pitch backside contacts (BSCs) in sub-3-nm GAAFET nodes. By enabling 4-track standard-cell height scaling, this design methodology delivers up to 35% area savings, 15% performance improvement, and a 32% reduction in worst-case IR drop across CPU, GPU, and SoC benchmarks.

As prevailing digital AI compute trajectories hit scaling limits, can analog computation unlock the next major leap in energy efficiency? 🧠⚑

Join us for the IEEE SSCS September Technical Webinar featuring Prof. Naveen Verma (Princeton University / Co-Founder of EnCharge AI) as he explores practical circuit architectures for scalable, next-generation AI systems.

Talk Overview:
While low-precision neural networks create an ideal opening for analog computing, a significant gap remains between fundamental circuit operation and scaled system demands. Prof. Verma will discuss how analog pathwaysβ€”specifically In-Memory Computing (IMC)β€”can drive major efficiency inflections, addressing key architectural, software, and industry integration challenges.
