A UNIFIED MEMORY APPARATUS FOR A RECONFIGURABLE PROCESSOR AND METHOD OF USING THEREOF

摘要

An integrated memory device for a reconfigurable processor and a use method thereof are provided to use a memory space efficiently according to a size of data and configuration information by physically integrating a first memory for storing the data and a second memory storing the configuration information needed for reconfiguring a system to enable the processor to perform a predetermined function. A first memory stores data and a second memory stores configuration information needed for reconfiguring a system to enable a processor to perform a predetermined function. The first and second memory are integrated and realized in one integrated memory(320). The integrated memory stores the data and the configuration information exclusively. The first and second memory are a scratchpad memory, and the processor is a reconfiguration processor(300).
