Abstract
An integrated circuit comprises a plurality of tiles. Each tile comprises a processor including a storage module, wherein the processor is configured to process multiple streams of instructions, a switch including switching circuitry to forward data received over data paths from other tiles to the processor and to switches of other tiles, and to forward data received from the processor to switches of other tiles, and coupling circuitry configured to couple data resulting from processing an instruction from at least one of the streams of instructions to the storage module and to the switch.
