  • Patent number: 11949603
    Abstract: A network-on-chip (NoC) system includes a default communication path between a master device and a slave device, and a backup communication path between the master device and the slave device. The default communication path is configured to work in a normal operation state of the chip. The backup communication path is configured to replace the default communication path when a fault arises in the default communication path.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 24, 2022
    Date of Patent: April 2, 2024

  • Patent number: 7299155
    Abstract: The present invention includes a method and apparatus for decomposing and verifying configurable hardware. In one embodiment, the method includes automatically decomposing a set of one or more units at a first level of a configurable hardware system design hierarchy into a set of two or more units of a lower level of the hardware system design hierarchy. The set of one or more units at a first level includes one or more units dynamically instantiated at design creation time as well as at least a first unit composed of a previously instantiated hardware system composed with two or more levels of units within the hardware system design hierarchy of the previously instantiated hardware system.
