Abstract
Provided are a reconfigurable processor and a method of operating the same, the reconfigurable processor including: a configurable memory configured to receive a task execution instruction from a control processor; and a plurality of reconfigurable arrays, each configured to receive configuration information from the configurable memory, wherein each of the plurality of reconfigurable arrays simultaneously executes a task based on the configuration information.
Claims15
A reconfigurable processor comprising:
- a configurable memory configured to receive a task execution instruction from a control processor;
- and
- a plurality of reconfigurable arrays, each configured to receive configuration information from the configurable memory based on the received instruction,
- wherein each of the plurality of reconfigurable arrays simultaneously executes a task, based on the configuration information, by using a plurality of function units included in each of the plurality of reconfigurable arrays.
A method of operating a reconfigurable processor, the method comprising:
- receiving, by a configurable memory included in the reconfigurable processor, a task execution instruction from a control processor;
- transmitting, based on the received instruction, configuration information in the configurable memory to each of a plurality of reconfigurable arrays included in the reconfigurable processor;
- and
- simultaneously executing, by each of the plurality of reconfigurable arrays, a task by using a plurality of function units included in each of the plurality of reconfigurable arrays, based on the configuration information.
