1. An apparatus for providing configuration data to an integrated circuit, the apparatus comprising:
a semiconductor fuse array, disposed on a die, into which is programmed compressed configuration data; and a plurality of cores, disposed on said die, wherein each of said plurality of cores is coupled to said semiconductor fuse array, and wherein one of said plurality of cores is configured to access said semiconductor fuse array upon power-up/reset to read and decompress said compressed configuration data, and to store decompressed configuration data sets for one or more cache memories within said each of said plurality of cores in a stores that is coupled to said each of said plurality of cores, said each of said plurality of cores comprising:
reset logic, configured to employ said decompressed configuration data sets to initialize said one or more cache memories upon power-up/reset; andsleep logic, configured to determine that power is restored following a power gating event, and configured to subsequently access said stores to retrieve and employ said decompressed configuration data sets to initialize said one or more caches following said power gating event. |
