  • Patent number: 9552328
    Abstract: A reconfigurable integrated circuit device includes plural processing elements each including an arithmetic circuit, and being configured in any computing state based on the configuration data; and an inter-processing element network which connects the processing elements in any state based on the configuration data. And the processing element inputs an input valid signal and an input data signal, and outputs an output valid signal and an output data signal, and includes an input data holding register, an arithmetic processing circuit, and an output data holding register which holds the computing result data, and when the configuration is updated by configuration data which makes a hold mode valid, regardless of the input valid signal, valid or invalid, the input data holding register holds the input data signal upon the update and the arithmetic processing circuit performs computing processing on the input data signal held in the input data holding register.

  • Patent number: 8291360
    Abstract: A data conversion apparatus for converting circuit description related to a dynamically-reconfigurable circuit to circuit configuration information, the data conversion apparatus includes a first generation section that generates a data flow graph from the circuit description; a segment count determining section that determines a number of segments for segmenting the data flow graph generated by the first generation section; a virtual circuit creating section that creates a virtual circuit that has as many resources of the dynamically-reconfigurable circuit as the number of the resources multiplied by the number of segments determined by the segment count determining section; a second generation section that generates, from the circuit description, a data flow graph corresponding to the virtual circuit created by the virtual circuit creating section; and a conversion section that allocates and adjusts the resources of the virtual circuit in accordance with the data flow graph.
