Abstract:
Embodiments relate to a computational device including multiple processor tiles on a die that may have multiple switchable topologies. A topology of the computational device may include one or more virtual circuits. A virtual circuit may include multiple processor tiles. A processor tile of a virtual circuit of a topology may include a configuration vector to control a connection between the processor tile and a neighboring processor tile. A first topology of the computation device may correspond to a first phase of a computation of a program, and a second topology of the computation device may correspond to a second phase of the computation of the program. Other embodiments may be described and/or claimed.
