ALEXANDRIA, Va., Jan. 28 -- United States Patent no. 12,536,133, issued on Jan. 27, was assigned to Rambus Inc. (San Jose, Calif.).

"Methods and circuits for streaming data to processing elements in stacked processor-plus-memory architecture" was invented by Steven C. Woo (Saratoga, Calif.) and Michael Raymond Miller (Raleigh, N.C.).

According to the abstract* released by the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office: "A stacked processor-plus-memory device includes a processing die with an array of processing elements of an artificial neural network. Each processing element multiplies a first operand-e.g. a weight-by a second operand to produce a partial result to a subsequent processing element. To prepare for these computations, a sequencer loads...
