1. A reconfigurable data processor, comprising:
an array of configurable units, the array including a plurality of sub-arrays of configurable units, and sub-arrays of configurable units in the plurality of sub-arrays of configurable units configurable to separately execute different programs; and
a force-quit controller connected to the array, configurable to stop execution of a particular program on a particular sub-array of configurable units in the plurality of sub-arrays of configurable units and reset the particular sub-array of configurable units, while remaining sub-arrays of configurable units in the plurality of sub-arrays of configurable units continue execution of remaining programs.
