Patent ID: 8572526

Claim:
A semiconductor platform for implementing multiple-frequency operations, the semiconductor platform comprising: a plurality of physical resources comprising embedded functions and a configurable transistor fabric, the transistor fabric comprising at least first and second portions, the first portion of the transistor fabric configured to instantiate a first function having higher frequency operations than the second portion of the transistor fabric; a plurality of logical resources corresponding to the physical resources of the semiconductor platform; and a configurable power mesh to support multiple frequency operations configurable from the transistor fabric, the configurable power mesh comprising at least first and second configurable grids, the first configurable grid being operable at a different frequency than the second configurable grid, the configurable power mesh configured, as a function of a desired performance of a customer's requirements, in a vicinity of the first portion of the configurable transistor fabric to support the first function having higher frequency operations relative to the second portion of the transistor fabric.
