Contextual evidence from Padding mask
Padding positions are those whose embedding is all zeros; they get an attention bias of −1e9.

Contextual evidence from Padding mask
The encoder input is the embedded source plus a learned target-space embedding of 32 rows, plus the timing signal; the padding positions become a −1e9 attention bias.

Scaled scores are the product of queries and keys plus the bias; softmax over keys, dropout on the weights, then the weighted sum of values.
