  • Publication number: 20240020261
    Abstract: A reconfigurable dataflow unit (RDU) includes an intra-RDU network, an array of configurable units connected by an array level network and function interfaces. The RDU also includes interface circuits coupled between the intra-RDU network and external interconnects. An interface circuit receives a packet from the external interconnect and extracts a target RDU identifier and compares the target RDU identifier to the value of the identity register. It also communicates over the intra-RDU network to a function interface based on information in the first packet in response to the target RDU identifier being equal to the identity register. The interface circuit retrieves another interface circuit identifier for the target RDU identifier from the pass-through table and, in response to the target RDU identifier not being equal to the identity register, sends the target RDU identifier and other information to the other interface circuit over the intra-RDU network.

  • Publication number: 20230418715
    Abstract: An apparatus is disclosed in which the apparatus may include a plurality of cores, including a first core, a second core and a third core, and circuitry coupled to the first core. The first core may be configured to process a plurality of instructions. The circuitry may be may be configured to detect that the first core stopped committing a subset of the plurality of instructions, and to send an indication to the second core that the first core stopped committing the subset. The second core may be configured to disable the first core from further processing instructions of the subset responsive to receiving the indication, and to copy data from the first core to a third core responsive to disabling the first core. The third core may be configured to resume processing the subset dependent upon the data.

  • Publication number: 20230315624
    Abstract: A processor has multiple memory interfaces and a memory interleaver controlling access to the memory interfaces. The memory interfaces may each couple with one or more memory devices. The number of memory devices coupled to the different memory interfaces may be unequal. The memory interleaver determines a memory region from a logical address, and a region relative address. It determines the interleave factor IF corresponding to the memory region. It performs an integer division to obtain a device line address, and a modulo operation to obtain an uncorrected channel address. The memory interleaver may add a region start address associated with the memory region to the device line address to obtain a physical line address. It may correct the uncorrected channel address, based on the memory region, to obtain a physical channel address. Some implementations use configuration memories to allow flexibility, other implementations are hardwired for a particular memory architecture.

  • Publication number: 20230305881
    Abstract: A data processing system is presented that includes a communication link, a runtime processor, and one or more reconfigurable processors. A reconfigurable processor includes first and second dies arranged in a package, having respective K and L arrays of coarse-grained reconfigurable (CGR) units, and respective first and second communication link interfaces coupled to the communication link. The runtime processor is adapted for configuring the first communication link interface to provide access to the K arrays of CGR units through the communication link from a first physical function driver and from up to M virtual function drivers, and for configuring the second communication link interface to provide access to the K arrays of CGR units of the first die and to the L arrays of CGR units of the second die through the communication link from a second physical function driver and from up to N virtual function drivers.
