1. A processor-executed method of loading software onto an array, the method comprising: providing the array having a central processor and a plurality of array components, each array component having subarray components of different subarray component types, the subarray components including at least a processor unit; selecting one array component in the plurality of array components and providing stored base information about the selected array component; selecting one subarray component type and providing stored base information about the selected subarray component type; providing an array component specific structure information list about the array, the array component specific structure information list being stored in the central processor and including information specific to the array component of the plurality of array components; calling up a stored subarray component-specific structure information list about the selected array component on a basis of the base information about the selected array component and on a basis of the array component specific structure information list, the subarray component-specific structure information list including information specific to the subarray components of the selected array component; selecting a subarray component-specific structure information from the subarray component-specific structure information list on a basis of the base information about the selected subarray component type; generating a loading list on a basis of the selected subarray component-specific structure information; and effecting, according to the loading list, a loading of the software onto the processor unit that belongs to a subarray component disposed in the selected array component and being of the selected subarray component type.
