Original Abstract Submitted
Disclosed are systems and methods that include integrated circuit generation with composable interconnect. In some implementations, a system may access a design parameters data structure that specifies an interconnect topology to be included in an integrated circuit. The system may invoke an integrated circuit design generator that applies the design parameters data structure, including with the interconnect topology. In some implementations, the design parameters data structure may specify a definition for a hardware object (e.g., the interconnect topology) and instances of the hardware object. The definition and the instances may each be modifiable. The system may invoke the generator to apply the design parameters data structure to generate the design.
