Survey of Dynamically Reconfigurable Network-on-Chip

Abstract

As a promising communication infrastructure of future large scale SoC, NoC is inherently suitable to the dynamic reconfiguration technology. The combination of NoC and DR will lead a new era of computing platform. This paper presents a survey of DRNoC, discusses the current approaches and open issues organized by three aspects: the hardware architecture, the routing protocol, and the reconfiguration mode.
