Abstract
A reconfigurable compute fabric can include multiple nodes, and each node can include multiple tiles with respective processing and storage elements. Compute kernels can be parsed into directed graphs and mapped to particular node or tile resources for execution. In an example, a branch-and-bound search algorithm can be used to perform the mapping. The algorithm can use a cost function to evaluate the resources based on capability, occupancy, or power consumption of the various node or tile resources.
