US Patent 10402527 Reconfigurable interconnect

Embodiments are directed towards a reconfigurable stream switch formed in an integrated circuit. The stream switch includes a plurality of output ports, a plurality of input ports, and a plurality of selection circuits. The output ports each have an output port architectural composition, and each is arranged to unidirectionally pass output data and output control information. The input ports each have an input port architectural composition, and each is arranged to unidirectionally receive first input data and first input control information. Each one of the selection circuits is coupled to an associated one of the output ports. Each selection circuit is further coupled to all of the input ports such that each selection circuit is arranged to reconfigurably couple its associated output port to no more than one input port at any given time.
