Abstract

Disclosed are a reconfigurable processor and processing method, a reconfiguration control apparatus and method, and a thread modeler and modeling method. A memory area of a reconfigurable processor may be divided into a plurality of areas, and a context enabling a thread process may be stored in respective divided areas, in advance. Accordingly, when a context switching is performed from one thread to another thread, the other thread may be executed by using information stored in an area corresponding to the other thread.
