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.
