Reconfigurable computing: architectures and design methods

TLDR
It is shown that reconfigurable computing designs are capable of achieving up to 500 times speedup and 70% energy savings over microprocessor implementations for specific applications.
Abstract
Reconfigurable computing is becoming increasingly attractive for many applications. This survey covers two aspects of reconfigurable computing: architectures and design methods. The paper includes recent advances in reconfigurable architectures, such as the Alters Stratix II and Xilinx Virtex 4 FPGA devices. The authors identify major trends in general-purpose and special-purpose design methods. It is shown that reconfigurable computing designs are capable of achieving up to 500 times speedup and 70% energy savings over microprocessor implementations for specific applications.

System-on-Chip: Reuse and Integration

TL;DR: This paper focuses on the reuse and integration issues encountered in this paradigm shift in system-on-chip (SoC) design, which includes connecting the computational units to the communication medium, which is moving from ad hoc bus-based approaches toward structured network- on- chip (NoC) architectures.
