Chiplet3D: Pin- and Thermal-Aware 3D Chiplet Floorplanning via Convolution-Embedded MILP

As traditional Moore's Law scaling slows down, 3D-ICs stack multiple active dies vertically to sustain performance scaling. However, this vertical stacking traps heat inside, making temperature a design concern. Although we can fix thermal issues at different design steps, floorplanning is the earliest and most cost-effective stage to solve it. Previous methods handle this by assuming wires connect to block centers and estimating temperature through simplistic power-based calculations, but these assumptions mislead their wirelength optimization and leave hotspots unresolved. To address these limitations, we present Chiplet3D, a pin- and thermal-aware floorplanner for two-die 3D-ICs. To achieve pin-awareness, it supports all four rotations and two flips, measuring wirelength from exact pin locations so the solver can flip or rotate blocks to pull connected pins closer. On the thermal side, Chiplet3D replaces the inaccurate power-based metrics of prior work with a fast, coarse convolution field embedded directly in a mixed-integer linear program (MILP) to accurately track the true 3D heat spread. We evaluate Chiplet3D on the ICCAD'24 ATPlace benchmarks, validating every temperature with a golden 3D-ICE simulation. Chiplet3D reduces wirelength by 39\%--43\% on average (and up to 62\% in the best case), while lowering peak temperatures by up to 45.9$^\circ$C and reducing thermal non-uniformity by up to 56\% compared to the SOTA baselines. Overall, these results demonstrate that by co-optimizing pin alignment and thermal fields, Chiplet3D establishes a stronger Pareto frontier between thermal-aware layout and interconnect efficiency.

Instant Response Few-shot Object Detection with Meta Strategy and Explicit Localization Inference

Aiming at recognizing and localizing the object of novel categories by a few reference samples, few-shot object detection (FSOD) is a quite challenging task. Previous works often depend on the fine-tuning process to transfer their model to the novel category and rarely consider the defect of fine-tuning, resulting in many application drawbacks. For example, these methods are far from satisfying in the episode-changeable scenarios due to excessive fine-tuning times, and their performance on low-quality (e.g., low-shot and class-incomplete) support sets degrades severely. To this end, this paper proposes an instant response few-shot object detector (IR-FSOD) that can accurately and directly detect the objects of novel categories without the fine-tuning process. To accomplish the objective, we carefully analyze the defects of individual modules in the Faster R-CNN framework under the FSOD setting and then extend it to IR-FSOD by improving these defects. Specifically, we first propose two simple but effective meta-strategies for the box classifier and RPN module to enable the object detection of novel categories with instant response. Then, we introduce two explicit inferences into the localization module to alleviate its over-fitting to the base categories, including explicit localization score and semi-explicit box regression. Extensive experiments show that the IR-FSOD framework not only achieves few-shot object detection with the instant response but also reaches state-of-the-art performance in precision and recall under various FSOD settings.

Enhancing Prototypical Few-Shot Learning by Leveraging the Local-Level Strategy

Aiming at recognizing the samples from novel categories with few reference samples, few-shot learning (FSL) is a challenging problem. We found that the existing works often build their few-shot model based on the image-level feature by mixing all local-level features, which leads to the discriminative location bias and information loss in local details. To tackle the problem, this paper returns the perspective to the local-level feature and proposes a series of local-level strategies. Specifically, we present (a) a local-agnostic training strategy to avoid the discriminative location bias between the base and novel categories, (b) a novel local-level similarity measure to capture the accurate comparison between local-level features, and (c) a local-level knowledge transfer that can synthesize different knowledge transfers from the base category according to different location features. Extensive experiments justify that our proposed local-level strategies can significantly boost the performance and achieve 2.8%-7.2% improvements over the baseline across different benchmark datasets, which also achieves state-of-the-art accuracy.

Temperature-dependent transformation thermotics: From switchable thermal cloaks to macroscopic thermal diodes

The macroscopic control of ubiquitous heat flow remains poorly explored due to the lack of a fundamental theoretical method. Here, by establishing temperature-dependent transformation thermotics for treating materials whose conductivity depends on temperature, we show analytical and simulation evidence for switchable thermal cloaking and a macroscopic thermal diode based on the cloaking. The latter allows heat flow in one direction but prohibits the flow in the opposite direction, which is also confirmed by our experiments. Our results suggest that the temperature-dependent transformation thermotics could be a fundamental theoretical method for achieving macroscopic heat rectification, and provide guidance both for macroscopic control of heat flow and for the design of the counterparts of switchable thermal cloaks or macroscopic thermal diodes in other fields like seismology, acoustics, electromagnetics, or matter waves.
