Abstract

The aim of this chapter is the definition of the main issues that arise when dealing with the design of a NoC-based reconfigurable system. In particular, after the definition of the target architecture, several factors, requirements and constraints that have to be taken into account during the design of reconfigurable NoCs will be described and analyzed. The second part of this chapter will focus on the main issues in dynamic reconfigurable NoCs design, such as the definition of a layered approach, of a packet-switched communication infrastructure, of a proper routing mechanism and of a communication protocol support. Finally, the last part of this chapter will deal with the description of the most relevant implementation details, such as the placement of the bus-macros, the design of the network switches and the physical implementation of the routing mechanism.
