A system for executing multiple concurrent threads, comprising: context storages, each configured to store thread contexts, each context for one of the multiple threads, each of the context storages associated with an operation of the threads; and processing circuitry configured to: while a first and a second thread are executed simultaneously by the circuitry: store a first context of the first thread in a first storage, identified in the first storage by a value; store a second context of the second thread in a second storage, identified in the second storage by the value; and upon completing execution of a first operation of the first thread, the operation associated with the first storage, when applying a test to the value indicates that the value is available in the second storage, store the first context in the second storage, the first context identified in the second storage by the value.

Reusing thread identification values when executing concurrent threads

An Integrated Circuit (IC) device, and a method of utilizing thereof, may include: a plurality of Processing Elements (PEs), each comprising one or more configurable hardware logic blocks. The IC may further include a plurality of configuration memory elements, each associated with a respective PE, and adapted to maintain two or more configuration settings of the respective PE. The IC may further include a configuration manager circuit, configured to: receive a reconfiguration instruction, dictating a required function of the IC device; based on the reconfiguration instruction, identify at least one target PE of the plurality of PEs as a target for reconfiguration; based on the required function, select a specific configuration setting in the configuration memory element associated with the at least one target PE; and reconfigure at least one hardware logic block of the at least one target PE, according to the selected configuration setting.
