APPARATUS AND METHOD TO SWITCH CONFIGURABLE LOGIC UNITS

Abstract:

Examples described herein include systems and methods which include an apparatus comprising a plurality of configurable logic units and a plurality of switches, with each switch being coupled to at least one configurable logic unit of the plurality of configurable logic units. The apparatus further includes an instruction register configured to provide respective switch instructions of a plurality of switch instructions to each switch based on a computation to be implemented among the plurality of configurable logic units. For example, the switch instructions may include allocating the plurality of configurable logic units to perform the computation and activating an input of the switch and an output of the switch to couple at least a first configurable logic unit and a second configurable logic unit. In various embodiments, configurable logic units can include arithmetic logic units (ALUs), bit manipulation units (BMUs), and multiplier-accumulator units (MACs).
