The parameters may include sizes for each soft processor column, a number of soft processor columns, types (e.g., processor architecture types) of each processor. Multiple soft processor columns may also be grouped together to complete a single task. Interface circuitry may regulate information flow to and from the soft processor columns.

Abstract: A scalable circuit architecture for programmable circuitry is provided. Intellectual property (IP) blocks may be integrated into a circuit design and may be formed next to programmable logic sectors on which user logic functions are implemented. IP blocks may receive configuration data from sub-system managers (SSMs) that serve as a local configuration source for the IP blocks.

A reroute layer may serve as an interface between IP blocks and one or more programmable logic sectors. The reroute layer may have a higher number of connections at a logic sector interface compared to the number of connections at an IP block interface. An IP block may route clock signals having different frequencies to respective different rows or regions in the programmable logic sectors.
