Ultra large-scale integration reconfigurable System-on-Chips (SoCs) have been proposed to achieve not only better performance and lower energy consumption but also higher flexibility and versatility in comparison with the conventional architectures. The unique characteristic of such systems is the integration of many types of heterogeneous reconfigurable processing fabrics based on a Network-on-Chip. This paper analyzes and emphasizes the key research trends of reconfigurable System-on-Chips (SoCs). Firstly, the emerging hardware architecture of SoCs is highlighted. Afterwards, the key issues of designing reconfigurable SoCs are discussed, with the focus on the challenges when designing reconfigurable hardware fabrics and reconfigurable Network-on-Chips. Finally, some state-of-the-art reconfigurable SoCs are briefly discussed. date: 2017 date_type: published publisher: REV id_number: 147 full_text_status: none publication: REV Journal on Electronics and Communications refereed: TRUE issn: 1859-387X projects: QG.16.33 projects: NAFOSTED 102.01-2013.17 citation: Nguyen, Kiem Hung and Le, Van Thanh Vu and Tran, Xuan Tu (2017) A Survey on Reconfigurable System-on-Chips.
