Abstract

A device may include a processor system and an array of data processing engines (DPEs) communicatively coupled to the processor system. Each of the DPEs includes a core and a DPE interconnect. The processor system is configured to transmit configuration data to the array of DPEs, and each of the DPEs is independently configurable based on the configuration data received at the respective DPE via the DPE interconnect of the respective DPE. The array of DPEs enable, without modifying operation of a first kernel of a first subset of the DPEs of the array of DPEs, reconfiguration of a second subset of the DPEs of the array of DPEs.
