Abstract: Bi-directional dynamic function exchange (DFX) can include receiving a circuit design for a programmable integrated circuit (IC). The circuit design includes a plurality of DFX partitions coupled by a signal path. The circuit design can be placed using a first plurality of DFX modules for the plurality of DFX partitions, in part, by selecting a flip-flop of a connection block as a boundary flip-flop of the signal path for each DFX module of the plurality of DFX modules. The circuit design including the signal path can be routed through the selected flip-flops of the connection blocks using a bi-directional routing resource coupling the plurality of connection blocks. The bi-directional routing resource is used as a partition pin placement constraint (PPLOC) node for DFX.

Abstract: A method of implementing a partial reconfiguration in an integrated circuit device is described. The method comprises reading a netlist for a design of a circuit comprising a reconfigurable module; defining a first region of the integrated circuit device having the reconfigurable module; defining a second region that encompasses the first region; placing the reconfigurable module of the design in the first region, wherein the reconfigurable module comprises a partition pin of a plurality of available partition pins; selectively removing the partition pin; routing drivers and loads that are in the second region; and generating a partial bitstream for the reconfigurable module.

Abstract: Hierarchical partial reconfiguration for integrated circuits includes converting, using computer hardware, a first partial reconfiguration module of a circuit design into a first partial reconfiguration container, wherein the circuit design is placed and routed, loading, using the computer hardware, a first netlist into the first partial reconfiguration container, wherein the first netlist includes a first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules that are initially empty, and including, using the computer hardware, a further netlist within each of the first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules. Using the computer hardware, the first partial reconfiguration container is implemented with the first plurality of partial reconfiguration modules being implemented within the first partial reconfiguration container.

Abstract: Implementing a circuit design for partial reconfiguration can include routing, using a processor, a net of the circuit design that connects an endpoint within a reconfigurable module with an endpoint within static circuitry external to the reconfigurable module and forming, using the processor, a set of candidate nodes including nodes used to route the net. A node from the set of candidate nodes is determined as the partition pin for partial reconfiguration.

Abstract: Method, apparatus and computer-readable medium for providing a partial reconfiguration of a reconfigurable module are described. In one example, a method reads a netlist for a design of a circuit comprising a reconfigurable module and sets the reconfigurable module to a first region. The method then generates a second region that encompasses the first region and places the design with the first region. The method routes the design with the second region and generates a partial bitstream for the reconfigurable module.

Abstract: A device includes a platform implemented in programmable circuitry of the device. The platform is configured to communicate with a host data processing system. The device includes a first partial reconfiguration region implemented in the programmable circuitry and coupled to the platform. The first partial reconfiguration region is reserved for implementing user-specified circuitry. The device includes timing insulation circuitry implemented in the programmable circuitry and configured to isolate timing of signals passing between the platform and the first partial reconfiguration region.

Abstract: Examples described herein provide for an electronic circuit, such as a System-on-Chip (SoC), having a Network-on-Chip (NoC). The NoC is configurable and has capabilities to be partially reconfigured. In an example, a NoC on an integrated circuit is configured. Subsystems on the integrated circuit communicate via the NoC. The NoC is partially reconfigured. A first subset of the NoC is reconfigured during the partial reconfiguration, and a second subset of the NoC is capable of continuing to pass communications uninterruptedly during the partial reconfiguration. After the partial reconfiguration, two or more of the subsystems communicate via the first subset of the NoC.

Abstract: Managing an accelerator may include responsive to determining a first container including a first configuration file and a second configuration file, caching, using a host processor, the second configuration file within a local memory of the host processor. The first configuration file may be provided, using the host processor, to a device of the accelerator. Responsive to a configuration event, the host processor may provide the cached second configuration file from the local memory to the device of the accelerator.

Abstract: Time-multiplexing implementation of hardware accelerated functions includes associating each function of a plurality of functions from program code with an accelerator binary image specifying a hardware accelerated version of the associated function and determining which accelerator binary images are data independent. Using the computer hardware, the accelerator binary images can be scheduled for implementation in a programmable integrated circuit within each of a plurality of partial reconfiguration regions based on data independence.

Abstract: Partial reconfiguration of a programmable integrated circuit can include loading, using computer hardware, a platform design including a module black-box instance corresponding to a user design and marking, using the computer hardware, data of the platform design including data relating to synchronous boundary crossings between the platform design and the module black-box instance and implementation data for the platform design within an extended routing region available for routing the user design. Unmarked data can be removed from the platform design resulting in a shell circuit design. The user design can be implemented based on the shell circuit design and timing constraints corresponding to the marked data in the shell circuit design.
