1、The Survey of 2.5D Integrated Architecture:An EDA PerspectiveShixin Chen1,Hengyuan Zhang2,Zichao Ling2,Jianwang Zhai2,Bei Yu11The Chinese University of Hong Kong2Beijing University of Posts and TelecommunicationsJan.21,20251Why 2.5D?2EDA for 2.5D Architecture Design3Partition and Interconnection4EDA
2、 for 2.5D IC Physical Design5Conclusion2/26Outline2/26Why 2.5D?3/26Fig 1.LLM is widely used and in high demand.Huge amount of parameters:GPT-3 has 175 billion parameters.Inference computation:Inference requires dozens of high-performance GPUs.Training process:Thousands of NVIDIA V100 GPUs are needed
3、 for training.How can we improve computational capabilities?4/26LLM and Computation Demand4/26More advanced tech-nodes:The commercial benefit is decreased after 28 nm.More computation resource:Wafer-scale chip is expensiveMore advanced architecture:3D IC or 2.5D ICFig 2.Moores law and the chip area
