ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods are disclosed for distributing memory within one or more regions of circuitry that perform logic functions (or other types of functions that require dense interconnect structures) on an integrated circuit. The distributed memory reduces high density routing congestion, allows increased logic utilization, and provides areas for additional interconnect structure. Various techniques are also disclosed for accessing the memory.
