Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for processing Ethernet packets at a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). One programmable integrated circuit includes: an internal network on chip (iNOC) comprising rows and columns; clusters, coupled to the iNOC, comprising a network access point (NAP) and programmable logic; and an Ethernet controller coupled to the iNOC. When the controller operates in packet mode, each complete inbound Ethernet packet is sent from the controller to one of the NAPs via the iNOC, where two or more NAPs are configurable to receive the complete inbound Ethernet packets from the controller. The controller is configurable to operate in quad segment interface (QSI) mode where each complete inbound Ethernet packet is broken into segments, which are sent from the controller to different NAPs via the iNOC, where two or more NAPs are configurable to receive the complete inbound Ethernet packets from the controller.

The following description is directed to a logic repository service. In one example, a method of a logic repository service can include receiving a first request to generate configuration data for configurable hardware using a specification for application logic of the configurable hardware. The method can include generating the configuration data for the configurable hardware. The configuration data can include data for implementing the application logic. The method can include receiving a second request to download the configuration data to a host server computer comprising the configurable hardware. The method can include transmitting the configuration data to the host server computer in response to the second request so that the configurable hardware is configured with the host logic and the application logic.

The present disclosure discloses an on-chip synchronous self-repairing system based on a low-frequency reference signal. The system adopts a dual-input PLL stellate coupled structure or a dual-input PLL butterfly-shaped coupled structure, and delay of the whole loop is made to be an integral multiple of the reference signal by synchronizing the transmitted reference signal with the received reference signal, so as to ensure synchronization of local oscillation signal of each IC chip. The transmission wire based on an adjustable left-handed material is used as a delay wire to connect the dual-input PLL, thereby achieving low loss and reducing the physical distance of the delay wire. The system has the advantages of small area, low loss, strong adaptability and strict synchronization in various environments.

A system timer bus used by the processor elements in an ARM-based system on a chip (SoC) is driven using a Precision Time Measurement (PTM) value. This allows the processor elements to be synchronized to the PCIe ports that use PTM. When two SoCs are connected using PCIe links, this example allows the processor elements in both SoCs to be synchronized. As the processor elements are synchronized, associated tasks on the two SoCs are synchronized, so that overall operations are synchronized.

A method for starting a system-on-a-chip, SoC, without read only memory, ROM, comprises the steps of receiving, by a processor comprised by the SoC, a reset signal, monitoring, by a monitoring component comprised by the SoC, a connection between the processor and at least a non-volatile memory, both comprised by the SoC, upon occurrence of a first read access of the processor to the non-volatile memory via the connection checking, by the monitoring component, whether a data value returned in response to the first read access via the connection conforms to a pre-set value, and if the returned data value differs from the pre-set value, stopping, by the monitoring component, operation of the processor.

A processing-in-memory (PIM) system includes a plurality of PIM devices, a plurality of PIM controllers configured to control respective ones of the plurality of PIM devices, and an interface coupled between a host and the plurality of PIM controllers. The interface transmits first request data to a target PIM controller corresponding to one of the plurality of PIM controllers for execution of a first request output from the host. The interface transmits second request data to all of the plurality of PIM controllers for execution of a second request output from the host.

A system-on-chip is connected to a first memory device and a second memory device. The system-on-chip comprises a memory controller configured to control an interleaving access operation on the first and second memory devices. A modem processor is configured to provide an address for accessing the first or second memory devices. A linear address remapping logic is configured to remap an address received from the modem processor and to provide the remapped address to the memory controller. The memory controller performs a linear access operation on the first or second memory device in response to receiving the remapped address.

A system-on-chip (SoC) for operating a plurality of different central processing units and a method for operating the same are provided. The SoC includes a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) that execute respective software programs independently of each other, a bus interconnector for connecting the plurality of CPUs, and at least one access control device that is connected to the bus interconnector and controls each access to a physical resource shared by the plurality of CPUs via the bus interconnector, for each CPU.

A device architecture includes a spatially reconfigurable array of processors, such as configurable units of a CGRA, having spare homogenous subarrays, and a parameter store on the device which stores parameters that tag one or more elements as unusable. Configuration data is distributed using a statically reconfigurable bus system, to implement the pattern of placement of configuration data, in dependence on the tagged elements. As a result, a spatially reconfigurable array having unusable elements can be repaired.

Aspects of the disclosure generally relate to computing enabled systems and/or devices and may be generally directed to machine learning for computing enabled systems and/or devices. In some aspects, the system captures one or more digital pictures, receives one or more instruction sets, and learns correlations between the captured pictures and the received instruction sets.
