Programmable stream switches and functional safety circuits in integrated circuits

Abstract

An integrated circuit (IC) may include a plurality of compute tiles in a data processing array. Each compute tile is configured to perform a data processing function. The IC may include a plurality of interface tiles in the data processing array. The plurality of interface tiles are communicatively linked to the plurality of compute tiles. The IC may include a plurality of programmable stream switches disposed in the plurality of compute tiles and the plurality of interface tiles. The IC may include a functional safety circuit. The functional safety circuit is connected to a selected programmable stream switch of the plurality of programmable stream switches. The functional safety circuit is configured to perform a functional safety function on a plurality of data streams routed to the functional safety circuit from the selected programmable stream switch.
