ABSTRACT:
A programmable circuit assembly and methods for high bandwidth data processing. The assembly includes an array of in-circuit programmable logic packages interconnected with an array of memory packages, allowing for elastic buffering of data in a variety of directions. Each programmable package includes package leads, a memory, and output drivers. Each output driver is connected to a respective package lead, which is configured to generate a logic function defined by programming data stored in the memory. A method includes storing programming data for operating the assembly to send signals on different paths between a programmable package and a memory package.
