Abstract
A device includes a set of processing circuits arranged in subsets, a set of data memory banks coupled to a memory controller, a control unit, and an interconnect network. The processing circuits are configurable to read first input data from the data memory banks via the interconnect network and the memory controller, process the first input data to produce output data, and write the output data into the data memory banks via the interconnect network and the memory controller. The hardware accelerator device includes a set of configurable lock-step control units which interface the processing circuits to the interconnect network. Each configurable lock-step control unit is coupled to a subset of processing circuits and is selectively activatable to operate in a first operation mode, or in a second operation mode.
