Abstract:
1. An apparatus for information processing, comprising: a first system comprising: a plurality of nodes, connected together, each node including reconfigurable logic, which can be reconfigured according to a command; an interface circuit, including a plurality of buffers, capable of sending and receiving data; a power monitoring circuit to monitor and control power levels of at least a portion of the plurality of nodes; a host program, which enables configuring a plurality of different objects, including: a remote node object, which produces said command to configure a node that is on a system that is remote from a said first system; a local node object, which produces said command to configure a node that is on a system that is local to said first system; and a channel object, which configures a channel between said interface circuit on said first system, and a second interface circuit on a second system, to allow data to be passed between configured nodes on the first system and configured nodes on the second system, via said channel object.
