Key-value (KV) caching accelerates inference in large language models (LLMs) by allowing the attention operation to scale linearly rather than quadratically with the total sequence length.

To address this issue, KVCrush, which stands for KEY-VALUE CACHE SIZE REDUCTION USING SIMILARITY IN HEAD-BEHAVIOR, is implemented. KVCrush involves using binary vectors to represent tokens, where the vector indicates which attention heads attend to the token and which attention heads disregard the token. The binary vectors are used in a hardware-efficient, low-overhead process to produce representatives for unimportant tokens to be pruned, without having to implement k-means clustering techniques.

Other embodiments are described and claimed.
Described herein are gate-all-around (GAA) transistors with extended drains, where the drain region extends through a well region below the GAA transistor. A high voltage can be applied to the drain, and the extended drain region provides a voltage drop. The transistor length (and, specifically length of the extended drain) can be varied based on the input voltage to the device, e.g., providing a longer drain for higher input voltages. The extended drain transistors can be implemented in devices that include CFETs, either by implementing the extended drain transistor across both CFET layers, or by providing a sub-fin pedestal with the well regions in the lower layer.
