摘要:
A programmable device system includes one or more network-on-chip (NoC) die layers vertically connected to one or more programmable chip dice layers. The NoC die layer includes interconnects, a bus or non-blocking switches, and optionally memory blocks and direct memory access engines. The NoC die layer improves on-chip communications by providing fast and direct interconnection circuitry between various parts of the programmable chip die.

Hybrid adder circuitry is provided for integrated circuits such as programmable integrated circuits. The hybrid adder may combine the capabilities of multiple adder architectures. Hybrid adders may include carry select and carry ripple adder circuits. The adder circuits may be combined using a carry look-ahead architecture. Adder functionality may be implemented using the resources of logic regions on the programmable integrated circuits. Each logic region may include combinatorial logic such as look-up table logic and register circuitry. The hybrid adder circuitry may receive input words to be added from the combinatorial circuitry and may produce corresponding arithmetic sum output signals to the register circuitry.
摘要:
Compiled configuration files for different programmable logic devices that are intended to be functionally equivalent may be compared using multiple different comparisons to assure functional equivalence. The different comparisons include a fitter or resource report comparison, an engineering bit settings report that compares vectors of bits that represent the settings of hard logic blocks, and comparisons based on location, connectivity and functionality. These comparisons are particularly well-suited for determining equivalence between different models of programmable logic devices, or even different types of devices such as field-programmable gate arrays as compared to mask-programmable logic devices.

摘要:
To improve interfacing between a block of dedicated function circuitry and blocks of more general purpose circuitry on an integrated circuit (“IC”), signals that are to be output by the dedicated function block are routed internally in that block so that they go into interconnection circuitry on the IC for more efficient application by that interconnection circuitry to the general purpose circuitry. Some of this routing internal to the dedicated function block may be controllably variable. The routing internal to the dedicated function block may also be arranged to take advantage of “sneak” connections that may exist between the dedicated function block and the general purpose blocks.
