  • Method apparatus for high-level programs with general control flow
    Patent number: 10033387
    Abstract: A method of configuring a programmable integrated circuit device to implement control flow at a current basic block. A branch selector node within the current basic block is configured to receive at least one control signal, where each of the at least one control signal is associated with a respective previous basic block. The branch selector node is further configured to select one of the at least one control signal based on one or more intended destinations for the at least one control signal, and provide the selected control signal to a data selector node within the current basic block. The data selector node is configured to select a data signal based on the selected control signal, where the selected data signal is from the respective previous basic block that is associated with the selected control signal.
