Abstract
An integrated circuit may include a printed circuit board and multiple processor sockets on the printed circuit board. Each of the multiple processor sockets is operable to receive a microprocessor and a programmable device. When a microprocessor is placed in a processor socket, that microprocessor may communicate with memory dual in-line memory modules (DIMMs). When a programmable device is placed in a processor socket, that programmable device may first be configured using a configuration DIMM and may then communicate with memory DIMMs during normal operation. The configuration DIMM may include multiple options for configuring the programmable device and may also provide additional management functions specifically tailored to the programmable device.
