Architecture and programming in a parallel processing environment with switch-interconnected processors

摘要

An integrated circuit includes a plurality of tiles. Each tile includes a pipelined processor configured to process multiple streams of instructions for the processor; and a switch including switching circuitry to forward data over data paths from other tiles to one or more pipeline stages of the processor and to switches of other tiles. At least some of the data is forwarded based on one or more streams of instructions for the switch.
