Abstract
The present invention relates to a coarse-grained reconfigurable array, comprising: at least one processor; a processing element array including a plurality of processing elements, and a configuration cache where commands being executed by the processing elements are saved; and a plurality of memory units forming a one-to-one mapping with the processor and the processing element array. The coarse-grained reconfigurable array further comprises a central memory performing data communications between the processor and the processing element array by switching the one-to-one mapping such that when the processor transfers data from/to a main memory to/from a frame buffer, a significant bottleneck phenomenon that may occur due to the limited bandwidth and latency of a system bus can be improved.
