  • Publication number: 20160294413
    Abstract: A computer-aided design (CAD) tool may identify don't care bits in configuration data. The don't care bits in the configuration data may change polarity without affecting the functionality of the circuit design. The CAD tool may compute an error check code (e.g., parity bits for a two-dimensional parity check) and insert the error check code into the configuration data. As an example, the CAD tool may replace don't care bits in the configuration data with the error code. The configuration data may be stored in configuration memory cells on a programmable integrated circuit, thereby implementing the circuit design with the error code on the programmable integrated circuit. During execution, the programmable integrated circuit may execute error checking and detect and correct errors in the configuration data based on the embedded error code.

  • Patent number: 9230048
    Abstract: Integrated circuits such as programmable integrated circuits may include programmable logic regions that can be configured to perform custom user functions. The programmable logic regions may produce output signals. The integrated circuit may include interconnects that route selected output signals throughout the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit may include output selection circuitry having output selection and interconnect selection stages. The output selection circuitry may be configured to select which of the output signals produced by the programmable logic regions are provided to the interconnects for routing. The interconnect selection stage may be formed using multiplexing circuits or tristate drivers. Logic design system computing equipment may be used to generate configuration data that can be used to program the output selection circuitry to reduce crosstalk by routing signals away from critical interconnects or by double-driving critical interconnects.

  • Patent number: 9106229
    Abstract: A multichip package that includes a programmable interposer is provided. Multiple integrated circuits may be mounted on the interposer. Active circuitry may also be embedded in the interposer device to facilitate protocol-based communications, debugging, and other desired circuit operations. The interposer device may include programmable interconnect routing circuitry that serves primarily to provide routing for the different circuits within the multichip package. A design tool may be used to design the interposer device. The design tool may include a standard die footprint library from which standard interface templates can be selected when designing an interposer device that has to communicate various on-interposer integrated circuits. The use of standard die footprints may simplify the design of interposers by enabling a family of devices to interface with a given interposer.

  • Publication number: 20130339670
    Abstract: Embodiments relate to reducing operand store compare penalties by detecting potential unit of operation (UOP) dependencies. An aspect includes a computer system for reducing operation store compare penalties. The system includes memory and a processor. The system performs a method including cracking an instruction into units of operation, where each UOP includes instruction text and address determination fields. The method includes identifying a load UOP among the plurality of UOPs and comparing values of the address determination fields of the load UOP with values of address determination fields of one or more previously-decoded store UOPs. The method also includes forcing, prior to issuance of the instruction to an execution unit, a dependency between the load UOP and the one or more previously-decoded store UOPs based on the comparing.
