Abstract

See full text

Some embodiments of the invention provide a configurable IC that includes several configurable computational tiles and several memory tiles. These tiles are arranged in a particular tile arrangement. Each computational tile has a set of configurable logic circuits for configurably performing a plurality of computations and a set of configurable routing circuits. The routing circuits of the tiles configurably route signals between configurable logic circuits. The configurable IC also has several memory arrays for storing data on which the logic circuit perform computation. The memory arrays are embedded in the tile arrangement between two sets of memory tiles, where each set of memory tiles includes a set of routing circuits. In this IC, at least a first memory tile has the same set of configurable routing circuits as at least a second computational tile.
