  • Publication number: 20240088900
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a data processing array having a plurality of array tiles. The plurality of array tiles include a plurality of compute tiles. The compute tiles include a core coupled to a random-access memory (RAM) in a same compute tile and to a RAM of at least one other compute tile. The data processing array is subdivided into a plurality of partitions. Each partition includes a plurality of array tiles including at least one of the plurality of compute tiles. The apparatus includes a plurality of clock gate circuits being programmable to selectively gate a clock signal provided to a respective one of the plurality of partitions.

  • Patent number: 11848670
    Abstract: An apparatus includes a data processing array having a plurality of array tiles. Each array tile can include a random-access memory (RAM) having a local memory interface accessible by circuitry within the array tile and an adjacent memory interface accessible by circuitry disposed within an adjacent array tile. Each adjacent memory interface of each array tile can include isolation logic that is programmable to allow the circuitry disposed within the adjacent array tile to access the RAM or prevent the circuitry disposed within the adjacent array tile from accessing the RAM. The data processing array can be subdivided into a plurality of partitions wherein the isolation logic of the adjacent memory interfaces is programmed to prevent array tiles from accessing RAMs across a boundary between the plurality of partitions.

  • Publication number: 20230376437
    Abstract: An integrated circuit (IC) can include a data processing array including a plurality of compute tiles arranged in a grid. The IC can include an array interface coupled to the data processing array. The array interface includes a plurality of interface tiles. Each interface tile includes a plurality of direct memory access circuits. The IC can include a network-on-chip (NoC) coupled to the array interface. Each direct memory access circuit is communicatively linked to the NoC via an independent communication channel.

  • Publication number: 20230057903
    Abstract: An integrated circuit includes a data processing array. The data processing array includes a plurality of compute tiles each having a processor. The integrated circuit includes an array controller coupled to the data processing array. The array controller is adapted to configure the plurality of compute tiles of the data processing array to implement an application. The application specifies kernels executable by the processors and stream channels that convey data to the plurality of compute tiles. The array controller is configured to initiate execution of workloads by the data processing array as configured with the application.
