Original Abstract Submitted

a method of configuring an integrated circuit including multiple hardware tiles, includes: establishing a data forwarding path through the multiple hardware tiles by configuring each hardware tile, except for a last hardware tile, of the multiple hardware tiles to be in a data forwarding state, in which configuring each hardware tile, except for the last hardware tile, to be in a forwarding state includes installing a respective forwarding state counter specifying a corresponding predefined length of time that the hardware tile is in the data forwarding state; supplying, along the data forwarding path, each hardware tile of the plurality of hardware tiles with a respective program data packet comprising program data for the hardware tile; and installing, for each hardware tile of the multiple hardware tiles, the respective program data.
