Abstract
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.
