System Having a Hybrid Threading Processor, a Hybrid Threading Fabric Having Configurable Computing Elements, and a Hybrid Interconnection Network

Abstract:

Representative apparatus, method, and system embodiments are disclosed for configurable computing. In a representative embodiment, a system includes an interconnection network, a processor, a host interface, and a configurable circuit cluster. The configurable circuit cluster may include a plurality of configurable circuits arranged in an array; an asynchronous packet network and a synchronous network coupled to each configurable circuit of the array; and a memory interface circuit and a dispatch interface circuit coupled to the asynchronous packet network and to the interconnection network. Each configurable circuit includes instruction or configuration memories for selection of a current data path configuration, a master synchronous network input, and a data path configuration for a next configurable circuit.
