Abstract
Disclosed is a method for resetting configurable units in a reconfigurable processor with an array of configurable units and a force-quit controller on an integrated circuit substrate. The array includes multiple sub-arrays of configurable units. The method involves receiving a force-quit command at the force-quit controller and generating force-quit control signals to reset configurable units in a specific sub-array of the plurality of sub-arrays. The specific sub-array contains the force-quit controller. This method enhances the efficiency and reliability of reconfigurable processors by enabling targeted and controlled resets of configurable units within the reconfigurable processor architecture.
