Abstract
Methods and apparatus to reconfigure a programmable logic device on a chip. The device includes a number of configurable elements. The methods include the steps of retrieving reconfiguration data pre-stored in a memory device located apart from the chip, and transferring the retrieved reconfiguration data in parallel to each of the configurable elements. One approach pre-stores the data in holograms.
