1. An apparatus for dynamically reconfiguring an Operating System (OS) for a manycore system, the apparatus comprising:
an application type determining unit to determine a type of an executed application; and an OS reconfiguring unit to deactivate at least one function performed by an OS partition based on the determined type of the application, wherein at least one core of a plurality of processing cores is dynamically assigned to the OS partition, wherein the OS reconfiguring unit assigns an OS partition assignable in the manycore system, based on the determined type of the application, wherein, when an assigned OS partition is set to be used for pipelining, the OS reconfiguring unit activates a data distribution function between tasks and a load balancing function between tasks in the OS while deactivating the at least one function in the OS.
