Abstract:
A computing apparatus and method of handling an interrupt are provided. The computing apparatus includes a coarse-grained array, a host processor, and an interrupt supervisor. When an interrupt occurs in the coarse-grained array while performing a loop operation, the host processor processes the interrupt, and the interrupt supervisor may perform mode switching between the coarse-grained array and the host processor.

Abstract:
An apparatus and method for generating a very long instruction word (VLIW) command that supports predicated execution, and a VLIW processor and method for processing a VLIW are provided herein. The VLIW command includes an instruction bundle formed of a plurality of instructions to be executed in parallel and a single value indicating predicated execution, and is generated using the apparatus and method for generating a VLIW command. The VLIW processor decodes the instruction bundle and executes the instructions, which are included in the decoded instruction bundle, in parallel, according to the value indicating predicated execution.

Abstract:
A reconfigurable processor which merges an inner loop and an outer loop which are included in a nested loop and allocates the merged loop to processing elements in parallel, thereby reducing processing time to process the nested loop. The reconfigurable processor may extract loop execution frequency information from the inner loop and the outer loop of the nested loop, and may merge the inner loop and the outer loop based on the extracted loop execution frequency information.
