Techniques are provided for dynamically reconfiguring programmable circuit blocks on integrated circuits during user mode. First configuration bits are loaded from first configuration scan registers into second configuration scan registers during configuration mode. The first configuration bits are used to configure programmable settings of a programmable circuit block. During user mode, second configuration bits are transmitted from a pin to the second configuration scan registers without transferring the second configuration bits through the first configuration scan registers. The second configuration bits are used to reconfigure the programmable settings of the programmable circuit block during the user mode. Also, phase shift circuitry can dynamically shift the phase of an output clock signal by selecting a different input clock signal. The phase shift circuitry has a delay circuit that allows the phase of a high frequency clock signal to be shifted without causing glitches in the clock signal.

Techniques relating to data deduplication at the file system level are disclosed. A system may include a block cache configured to store data blocks indicated as being shared by multiple files.
