  • Patent number: 11182264
    Abstract: A data processing system comprises a plurality of reconfigurable processors including a first reconfigurable processor and additional reconfigurable processors, a plurality of buffers in a shared memory accessible to the first reconfigurable processor and the additional reconfigurable processors, and runtime logic configured to execute one or more configuration files for applications using the first reconfigurable processor and the additional reconfigurable processors. Execution of the configuration files includes receiving data from the first reconfigurable processor and providing the data to at least one of the additional reconfigurable processors, and receiving data from the at least one of the additional reconfigurable processors and providing the data to the first reconfigurable processor.

  • Patent number: 11182221
    Abstract: The technology disclosed relates to buffer-based inter-node streaming of configuration data over a network fabric. In particular, the technology disclosed relates to a runtime processor configured to load and execute a first subset of configuration files in a set of configuration files on a first reconfigurable processor operatively coupled to a first processing node, load and execute a second subset of configuration files in the set of configuration files on a second reconfigurable processor operatively coupled to a second processing node, and use a first plurality of buffers operatively coupled to the first processing node, and a second plurality of buffers operatively coupled to the second processing node to stream data between the first reconfigurable processor and the second reconfigurable processor to load and execute the first subset of configuration files and the second subset of configuration files.

  • Patent number: 11126574
    Abstract: A data processing system comprises compile time logic, runtime logic, a control bus, and instrumentation units operatively coupled to processing units of an array. The compile time logic is configured to generate configuration files for a dataflow graph. The runtime logic is configured to execute the configuration files on the array, and to trigger start and stop events, as defined by the configuration files, in response to implementation of compute and memory operations of the dataflow graph on the array. A control bus is configured to form event routes in the array. The instrumentation units have inputs and outputs connected to the control bus and to the processing units. The instrumentation units are configured to consume the start events on the inputs and start counting clock cycles, consume the stop events on the inputs and stop counting the clock cycles, and report the counted clock cycles on the outputs.

  • Publication number: 20210271519
    Abstract: A reconfigurable data processor comprises an array of configurable units configurable to allocate a plurality of sets of configurable units in the array to implement respective execution fragments of the data processing operation. Quiesce logic is coupled to configurable units in the array, configurable to respond to a quiesce control signal to quiesce the sets of configurable units in the array on quiesce boundaries of the respective execution fragments, and to forward quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments when the corresponding sets of processing units are ready. An array quiesce controller distributes the quiesce control signal to configurable units in the array, and receives quiesce ready signals for the respective execution fragments from the quiesce logic.
