ABSTRACT:
Some embodiments provide an integrated circuit that includes several groups of circuits, each group of circuits includes a set of configurable logic circuits. The integrated circuit has at least one direct connection, without any intervening interconnect circuits, that connects an output of a configurable logic circuit in one group of circuits to another circuit in another group of circuits that does not neighbor the first group of circuits and that is not aligned with the first group of circuits. In some embodiments, the direct connection has intervening buffer circuits, but no other intervening circuits.
