Provided is a method of managing a configuration memory of reconfigurable hardware which can reconfigure hardware according to hardware configuration information. The method includes: determining at least one slot capable of currently storing the hardware configuration information on the basis of the states of a plurality of slots of the configuration memory; and storing hardware configuration information, which is stored in an external memory, in the determined at least one slot capable of currently storing the hardware configuration information. Accordingly, memory utilization can be improved even in dynamic environment such as data dependent control flow or multi-tasking.
