An integrated circuit includes a plurality of tiles. Each tile includes a
processor; a switch including switching circuitry to forward data over
data paths from other tiles to the processor and to switches of other
tiles; and a timer. At least some tiles include a low power mode of
operation in which either the processor or the switch is able to be
powered down, and the tile is able to leave the low power mode based at
least in part on a value of the timer.
