A system includes a first cross-point switch receiving a first plurality of clock inputs and outputting a first plurality of clock outputs, a first plurality of buffering devices receiving the first plurality of clock outputs and outputting a first plurality of buffered clock signals synchronized with each other, a first plurality of connectors receiving the first plurality of buffered clock signals and outputting a plurality of blade signals to a plurality of blades. Each blade includes a plurality of programmable logic devices, an operation of which is synchronized based on the first plurality of clock inputs. Each blade includes a second cross-point switch to receive a blade signal of the plurality of blade signals. The second cross-point switch outputs a second plurality of clock outputs based on the received blade signal, and the second plurality of clock outputs are provided to the programmable logic devices.

Synchronized clock signals for circuit emulators

A reconfigurable switching apparatus may include a plurality of communications transceivers operable to connect to a plurality of programmable integrated circuits. The reconfigurable switching apparatus may further include a plurality of crosspoint switches operably coupled to the plurality of communications transceivers. The reconfigurable switching apparatus may further include a processing circuitry operably coupled to the plurality of crosspoint switches and operable to program the plurality of crosspoint switches to route a plurality of interconnection paths between the plurality of communications transceivers.

Reconfigurable switch for a computing system

A method includes programming an FPGA based controller of a master blade with a power scheme. The master blade receives a first power management signal from the master blade and slave blades. The master blade transmits a second power management signal to itself and to the slave blades responsive to the first power management signal. The master blade receives a third power management signal from itself and the slave blades. The power scheme controls an order and delay in which the second power management signal is transmitted to the first master blade and the slave blades. The power scheme controls an order and delay in which the third power management signal is received from the master blade and the slave blades. The system can be expanded by connecting the master blades to a grand master blade and multiple grand master blades to a great grand master blade.
