RECONFIGURABLE PROCESSOR AND A METHOD FOR HANDLING INTERRUPT THEREOF, PARTICULARLY FOR SECURING A PE FOR INTERRUPT HANDLING

摘要

PURPOSE: A reconfigurable processor and a method for handling interrupt thereof are provided to promptly process an interrupt request by securing some PE for interrupt handling when the interrupt request happens.;CONSTITUTION: A CGA(Coarse-Grained Array)(101) includes plural PEs(Processing Elements), and a host processor(102) shares at least one PE with the CGA. A controller(103) designates at least one PE additionally. When an interrupt request happens while a loop operation is executed in the CGA, the controller allows the designated PE to process the interrupt request. A central register file(202) stores the processing result of the CGA and the host processor.;COPYRIGHT KIPO 2011
