摘要： A method includes: receiving control data at a first data selector of a plurality of data selectors, in which the control data comprises (i) a configuration registry address specifying a location in a configuration state registry and (ii) configuration data specifying a circuit configuration state of a circuit element of a computational circuit; transferring the control data, from the first data selector, to an entry in a trigger table registry; responsive to a first trigger event occurring, transferring the configuration data to the location in the configuration state registry specified by the configuration registry address; and updating a state of the circuit element based on the configuration data.

摘要： Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on a computer storage medium, for obtaining a first schedule, for a first hardware block of an integrated circuit device, where the first schedule identifies a first set of operations to be performed by the first hardware block. Obtaining a second schedule for a second hardware block of the integrated circuit device, where the second schedule identifies a second set of operations to be performed by the second hardware block and where operations of the second schedule are coordinated with operations of the first schedule such that the first schedule triggers the first hardware block to send data to the second block at a first pre-scheduled value of a counter, and the second schedule triggers the second hardware block to accept the data at an input at a second pre-scheduled value of the counter that is after the first pre-scheduled value. Performing, by the first hardware block, the first set of operations according to the first schedule, and performing, by the second hardware block, the second set of operations according to the second schedule.
