1. An integrated circuit (IC) comprising:

  • a tile arrangement comprising a plurality of tiles, each tile comprising a plurality of configurable circuits to configurably perform a set of operations based on a configuration data set; and

    a configuration network to load configuration data sets into the tile arrangement to configure the configurable circuits, the configuration network comprising a plurality of storage elements to allow different configuration data sets to simultaneously traverse the tile arrangement for configuring sets of configurable circuits to perform first and second sets of operations,said simultaneous traversal of different configuration data sets through the configuration network allowing the configuration network to load configuration data for a first set of configurable circuits of a first tile for performing the first set of operations while the IC operates and while a second set of configurable circuits of a second tile perform the second set of operations.
