ABSTRACT:
A system, apparatus and a method for routing data over fewer switches and interconnections among reconfigurable logic elements, and for adapting routing resources to dynamically perform complex bit-level permutations, such as shifting and bit reversal operations. In one embodiment, an exemplary silo routing circuit is formed upon a semiconductor substrate and routes data among a number of reconfigurable computational elements. The silo routing circuit comprises a plurality of input terminals and a plurality of output terminals. Further, the silo routing circuit includes a multi-stage interconnection network (“MIN”) of switches configurable to form data paths from any input terminal to any output terminal.
