Abstract
An apparatus and method for dynamically determining the execution mode of a reconfigurable array are provided. Performance information of a loop may be obtained before and/or during the execution of the loop. The performance information may be used to determine whether to operate the apparatus in a very long instruction word (VLIW) mode or in a coarse grained array (CGA) mode.
