A reconfigurable processor (RP) structure is provided, and particularly, a multi-mode providing apparatus including an exclusive coarse-grained array unit for each mode and a multi-mode providing method thereof are provided. The multi-mode providing apparatus includes: at least one reconfigurable operation mode execution unit performing a plurality of operations for processing a predetermined operation mode; a common coarse-grained array unit shared temporally by the at least one reconfigurable operation mode execution unit, and performing a main processing operation set to be performed by the common coarse-grained array unit, among the plurality of operations; and a controller determining whether the common coarse-grained array unit is available, and according to the result of the determination controlling the at least one reconfigurable operation mode execution unit so that the common coarse-grained array unit or an exclusive coarse-grained array unit performs the main processing operation, the exclusive coarse-grained array unit included in the at least one reconfigurable operation mode execution unit. Therefore, it is possible to reduce a delay time for data processing while reducing the size of hardware.
