Reconfigurable multiprocessor system on chip combines the high performance of hardware with the flexibility of software. It effectively and efficiently exploits all sorts of parallelism by involving different granularity and differently coupled reconfigurable resources. Simultaneously, it reduces the design and development costs and shortens the time to market. In this paper, the concept and major classes are introduced. Subsequently, the hardware architecture of reconfigurable multiprocessor system on chip at the system level is reviewed. The future research trends and key problems are discussed.
