Configurable logic block (CLB) internal routing architecture for enhanced local routing and clocking improvements

A system comprises a pair of configurable logic blocks (CLBs) placed adjacent to each other wherein each of the CLBs includes a plurality of configurable logic elements. A plurality sets of inodes are configured to accept signals to and/or from the CLBs, wherein a first set of inodes is positioned to the left of the adjacent CLBs and a second set of inodes is positioned to the right of the adjacent CLBs. A plurality of bnodes are embedded in the middle of the adjacent CLBs, wherein each bnode is configured to establish a first connection between the bnode and one of the first set of inodes on the left of the CLBs and a second connection between the bnode and one of the second set of inodes on the right of the CLBs. Both the first and second routing connections are localized within the pair of adjacent CLBs.
