Signal routing between memory die and logic die for performing operations
A memory device includes a memory die bonded to a logic die. A logic die that is bonded to a memory die via a wafer-on-wafer bonding process can receive signals indicative of input data from a global data bus of the memory die and through a bond of the logic die and memory die. The logic die can also receive signals indicative of kernel data from local input/output (LIO) lines of the memory die and through the bond. The logic die can perform a plurality of operations at a plurality of vector-vector (VV) units utilizing the signals indicative of input data and the signals indicative of kernel data.
1. A method comprising:
receiving, at a logic die that is bonded to a memory die via a wafer-on-wafer bonding process, signals indicative of input data from a global data bus of the memory die and through a bond of the logic die and memory die;
receiving, at the logic die, signals indicative of kernel data from local input/output (LIO) lines of the memory die and through the bond; and
performing, at the logic die, a plurality of operations at a plurality of vector-vector (VV) units utilizing the signals indicative of input data and the signals indicative of kernel data.
2. The method of claim 1 , wherein receiving signals indicative of the input data further comprises storing, at a buffer of the logic die, the input data received as the signals indicative of the kernel data.
3. The method of claim 2 , wherein receiving signals indicative of the kernel data further comprises, transferring the signals indicative of the kernel data from the buffer to the plurality of VV units.
4. The method of claim 2 , further comprising storing signals indicative of output data generated by performing the plurality of operations in the buffer.
5. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the plurality of operations further comprises performing the plurality of operations at the plurality of VV units, and wherein each of the plurality of VV units receives the signals indicative of the kernel data from the buffer concurrently.
6. The method of claim 1 , wherein performing the plurality of operations further comprises performing the plurality of operations at the plurality of VV units, and wherein each of the plurality of VV units receives a plurality of different signals indicative of a different portion of the kernel data from the LIO lines.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein the input data comprises a quantity of bits that is less than or equal to a different quantity of bits that comprises the kernel data.
8. The method of claim 7 , wherein the input data comprises a same quantity of bits as each of the different portions of the kernel data.
