Abstract: An apparatus includes a data processing array having a plurality of array tiles. The plurality of array tiles include a plurality of compute tiles. The compute tiles include a core coupled to a random-access memory (RAM) in a same compute tile and to a RAM of at least one other compute tile. The data processing array is subdivided into a plurality of partitions. Each partition includes a plurality of array tiles including at least one of the plurality of compute tiles. The apparatus includes a plurality of clock gate circuits being programmable to selectively gate a clock signal provided to a respective one of the plurality of partitions.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a data processing array having a plurality of array tiles. Each array tile can include a random-access memory (RAM) having a local memory interface accessible by circuitry within the array tile and an adjacent memory interface accessible by circuitry disposed within an adjacent array tile. Each adjacent memory interface of each array tile can include isolation logic that is programmable to allow the circuitry disposed within the adjacent array tile to access the RAM or prevent the circuitry disposed within the adjacent array tile from accessing the RAM. The data processing array can be subdivided into a plurality of partitions wherein the isolation logic of the adjacent memory interfaces is programmed to prevent array tiles from accessing RAMs across a boundary between the plurality of partitions.

Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) can include a data processing array including a plurality of compute tiles arranged in a grid. The IC can include an array interface coupled to the data processing array. The array interface includes a plurality of interface tiles. Each interface tile includes a plurality of direct memory access circuits. The IC can include a network-on-chip (NoC) coupled to the array interface. Each direct memory access circuit is communicatively linked to the NoC via an independent communication channel.

Abstract: A switch with clock-gating control and a method for clock gating a switch are described herein. In one example, the method generally includes detecting a state of one or more input ports and a state of one or more output ports of the switch, determining whether the state of the one or more input ports and the state of the one or more output ports has been stable for a preset number of clock cycles, and gating the switch from a clock signal until the state of the one or more input ports or the state of the one or more output ports change upon determining the states have been stable for the preset number of the cycles.
