Systems and methods of configuring a programmable integrated circuit. An array of signal processing accelerators (SPAs) is included in the programmable integrated circuit. The array of SPAs is separate from a field programmable gate array (FPGA), and the array of SPAs is configured to receive input data from the FPGA and is programmable to perform at least a filtering function on the input data to obtain output data.
