Multi-cluster architecture for a hardware integrated circuit

A method performed using an integrated circuit comprising a controller, a first cluster comprising a first plurality of compute tiles, and a second cluster comprising a second plurality of compute tiles, the method comprising:

• monitoring, by the controller, a single processing instance executed at the integrated circuit using one or more cores that communicate with the controller;
• during the single processing instance:
• executing, by the first cluster, a first workload using the first plurality of compute tiles;
• and
• concurrent with execution of the first workload, executing, by the second cluster, a second workload using the second plurality of compute tiles;
• wherein the first workload and the second workload are executed concurrently based on a program context of at least one core that is instantiated by the controller and that is configured to communicate with the first and second plurality of compute tiles.
