    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing as part of a processor pipeline a reprogrammable execution unit capable of executing specialized instructions are disclosed. A processor includes one or more reprogrammable execution units which can be programmed to execute different types of customized instructions. When the processor loads a program for execution, the processor loads a bitfile associated with the program. The processor programs a reprogrammable execution unit with the bitfile so that the reprogrammable execution unit is capable of executing specialized instructions associated with the program. During execution, a dispatch unit dispatches the specialized instructions to the reprogrammable execution unit for execution. The results of other instructions, such as integer and floating point instructions, are available immediately to instructions executing on the reprogrammable execution unit since the reprogrammable execution unit shares the processor registers with the integer and floating point execution units.

    Abstract: Mechanisms for out-of-band (OOB) management of Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA) bitstreams and associated methods, apparatus, systems and firmware. Under a first OOB mechanism, a management component, such as a baseband management controller (BMC) is coupled to a processor including an agent in a compute node that includes an FGPA. An FPGA bitstream file is provided to the BMC, and the agent reads the file from the BMC and streams the FPGA bitstream contents in the file to the FPGA to program it. Under second and third OOB mechanisms, a pointer to an FPGA bitstream file that identifies the location of the file that is accessible via a network or fabric is provided to the BMC or other management entity. The BMC/management entity forwards the pointer to BIOS running on the compute node or an agent on the processor. The BIOS or agent then uses the pointer to retrieve the FPGA bitstream file via the network or fabric, as applicable, and streams the FPGA bitstream to the FPGA to program it.

    Abstract: A method for logic design partitioning includes: collecting an RTL design file used for describing a logic circuit; performing syntax analysis processing on the RTL design file; extracting an always object and an assign object from logic model objects, and encapsulating the always object and the assign object, respectively; constructing and generating a hypergraph-based data structure; performing attribute analysis, and obtaining operating frequency information by processing according to clock domain information; associating and storing the clock domain information and the operating frequency information with corresponding nodes; and performing partitioning processing to obtain corresponding partitioned data. By means of the solutions of the present invention, other processing at the back end of the flow is not affected, the partitioning time is reduced and the partitioning efficiency is improved. Meanwhile, the logic content in chip design is partitioned efficiently, reasonably and correctly.
