Speeding Up Computational Lithography With The Power And Parallelism Of GPUs
- The article discusses the growing demands of computational lithography, particularly in addressing image errors during the lithographic process for dense chip designs.
- Traditional optical proximity correction (OPC) and emerging inverse lithography technology (ILT) play crucial roles in optimizing etched features.
- ILT, although more flexible, requires substantial computational power, with a single mask often consuming over 10K CPU cores for multiple days.
- Recent collaborative efforts by NVIDIA, TSMC, and Synopsys have shown that GPUs can significantly accelerate lithography computations, achieving speedups of 40X over CPUs.
- Key transformations involved in moving lithography code from CPUs to GPUs include parallelizing image-based operations, recasting algorithms to pixel-based computations, and migrating non-GPU-friendly data structures.
- Experiments in 2020 demonstrated a 10X speedup on ILT simulation functions using GPUs, with subsequent work revealing that GPUs can accelerate various computations used for OPC and ILT.
- A new GPU lithography library co-developed by NVIDIA, TSMC, and Synopsys has shown speedups as high as 40X over CPUs for certain functions.

Silent Data Errors Still Slipping Through The Cracks
- Silent data corruption errors in large server farms have become a major concern of cloud users, hyperscalers, processor manufacturers and the test community.
- Silent data errors (also called silent data corruption errors) are hardware errors that occur when an incorrect computational result from a processor core goes undetected by the system.
- Silent data errors are not a new type of failure or caused by a new type of defect, but they are more noticeable.
- Both Google and Meta sounded the alarm about SDC errors a few years ago, and the extent of the problem boils down to 1 in 1,000 machines in a data center fleet having a silent data error.
- These silent data errors also have become more prevalent due to ever-shrinking transistors fabricated near their physical limits, huge numbers of cores in data centers running identical code, and the limitations in testing hugely complex systems.
- Effective screening and testing can help to detect SDCs, both during fabrication and during field use.
- Stress testing is a powerful play here.
- Systems are likely to get more complex, so one key in dealing with SDEs may lie in developing more fault-tolerant systems with superior error correction mechanisms and built-in resiliency.
- ‘In the future, we’re going to be talking about reliability as a first-class design parameter in architectures,’ said Rambus’ Woo.
- And while it’s not clear that the industry will unravel all the root cause contributors to silent data errors, strategies to identify, check/verify, diagnose and test for SDEs are well underway.
