Abstract:
1. An application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) comprising: a plurality of non-configurable circuits customized for performing operations for a particular use; a set of reconfigurable circuits for configurably performing operations of a user design based on configuration data; and a configuration and monitoring network for receiving incremental sets of configuration data while the set of reconfigurable circuits is performing operations of the user design, each incremental set of data for configuring the configuration and monitoring network (i) to monitor a set of signals received at the set of reconfigurable circuits from one or more non-configurable circuits in the plurality of the non-configurable circuits of the ASIC and (ii) to take a set of actions when values of the monitored signals satisfy a set of conditions.
